The Ravens<\/a>‘ decision to re-sign Tyler “Snoop” Huntley to a two-year deal<\/a> worth up to $11 million likely signals the end of Cooper Rush’s brief time in Baltimore. With Huntley returning as Lamar Jackson’s primary backup, Rush could now be headed back to free agency as the Ravens finalize their quarterback depth chart.<\/p>\n

In the two starts during which Jackson was sidelined, Rush completed 25 of 39 passes for 251 yards, with four interceptions and no touchdowns. He threw for just 72 yards against the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> before the bye.<\/p>\n

The Ravens signed Cooper Rush as their new backup during the 2025 offseason. When Lamar Jackson sustained a hamstring injury against the Chiefs, Baltimore initially turned to Rush, who finished that game and started against the Texans<\/a> and the Rams<\/a>. However, after some struggles, the team decided to switch to Tyler Huntley. Huntley started and won games against the Bears<\/a> in Week 8 and the Packers<\/a> in Week 17, keeping the Ravens’ playoff hopes alive. Rush is under contract for $2 million next year, but could be released in the coming days.<\/p>\n
