Overview
- Baltimore officially released quarterback Cooper Rush on March 12 after one season with the team, per the Ravens’ announcement.
- Tyler Huntley was re-signed earlier this month to serve as Lamar Jackson’s primary backup, cementing the depth chart at QB2.
- Rush struggled in 2025 relief duty, going 34-of-52 for 303 yards with zero touchdowns and four interceptions, including three picks in a loss to the Texans before being benched against the Rams.
- Rush was in year two of a roughly $6.2 million deal; his release was not designated post-June 1, creating about $453,000 in immediate cap relief and $2.2 million in dead money.
- Analysts expect Rush to seek a veteran backup role elsewhere, with potential interest speculated from teams such as the Packers, Jets, Chiefs and Raiders.
