The Dallas Cowboys have no issue with the starting quarterback position. The franchise making Dak Prescott the highest-paid player in the league answered that question. However, having a solid backup quarterback is needed, especially this season since Prescott went down with a season-ending hamstring injury.

Cooper Rush was once again tasked with filling the void left by the Cowboys losing their franchise quarterback. Rush has been a solid quick fix, tossing for ten touchdowns and just three interceptions during Prescott's absence.

However, will a strong finish to the 2024 season make Rush think he can earn more on the free-agent market?

According to Spotrac, Rush's last contract with the Cowboys was a two-year deal for $5 million. Ending the 2024 season with over ten touchdown passes and less than five interceptions in a fill-in-the-void season will absolutely have Rush commanding more money in an always quarterback-hungry league.
