Cooper Rush, Tyrod Taylor Could be Options for Jets

Sunday, March 22, 9:46 AM

After trading quarterback Justin Fields to the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason, the New York Jets still need a veteran backup QB for Geno Smith. Carson Wentz re-signed with the Minnesota Vikings, and the Philadelphia Eagles acquired Andy Dalton from the Carolina Panthers. Options are dwindling, but ESPN's Rich Cimini writes that the 32-year-old Cooper Rush could be in play after the Baltimore Ravens recently released him. Re-signing Tyrod Taylor is another option, but the 36-year-old is injury-prone. Other free-agent QBs include Joe Flacco and Russell Wilson. A trade can never be ruled out, but the asking prices remain high around the league. Rush is an eight-year NFL veteran who spent his first seven years with the Cowboys before going 34-for-52 for 303 yards, no touchdowns, and four picks in four games (two starts) for the Ravens in 2025. Taylor replaced Fields as the starter last year in New York but played only six games (four starts) due to injuries and was lackluster, completing 59.7% of his pass attempts for 779 yards, five touchdowns, and five interceptions.

Caleb Williams News

Caleb Williams Continues to Trend Upward in Ben Johnson's System

Friday, May 1, 7:32 AM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had an incredible breakout campaign in his second NFL season, partly due to the team's new offensive system led by first-year head coach Ben Johnson. Williams finished the 2025 regular season with 3,942 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions. All three of those numbers set new career-highs, and although his interception total did increase from Year 1 to Year 2, he still did a great job limiting turnovers. He was also a threat on the ground, tallying 383 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. Williams is a strong candidate to take another big leap during his third season. Last year was terrific, for sure, but there's definitely a possibility that he could hit 4,000 passing yards and 30 passing touchdowns in 2026. He certainly has a strong supporting cast that can help him reach those marks. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III both look like potential franchise receivers, and Colston Loveland has emerged as one of the league's most impressive young tight ends. Plus, the leadership of Johnson should also allow Williams to remain a top-tier fantasy quarterback for many years to come. He's firmly entrenched as a high-end QB1 in dynasty leagues.
