The New York Jets are exploring options for their quarterback position this offseason, signaling a potential acquisition of multiple players. General Manager Darren Mougey is weighing the feasibility of bringing in a backup quarterback, especially if their intended starter has concerning performance metrics. One name emerging as a potential target is Cooper Rush, currently an unrestricted free agent after a tenure with the Dallas Cowboys.

Rush is characterized as more of a game manager, making him a reliable backup option. During his last season, he amassed 1,844 yards with 12 touchdown passes, showcasing some promise as a starter, evidenced by the Cowboys winning four of the six games he initiated. However, his modest completion percentage of 60.7% raises questions about his long-term viability as a QB1.
