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.

Cam Ward News

Robert Saleh Not Worried About Cam Ward's Inaccuracy Issues

Tuesday, June 16, 7:55 AM

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that he's not too concerned about the misses and innacuracy issues that second-year quarterback Cam Ward has encountered so far this offseason, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Saleh is giving Ward a pass as he learns a new offense going into his second year in the NFL. However, it's an ongoing issue for the former first overall pick out of the University of Miami, as Ward completed only 59.8% of his 540 pass attempts over 17 starts in his rookie camapign in 2025. Ward didn't have much help on offense, though, on his way to throwing for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions as Tennessee's full-time starter. He was sacked a league-high 55 times while also carrying the ball 39 times for 159 rushing yards and two more touchdowns. There is certainly more intrigue around Ward as he heads into Year 2 with Brian Daboll as the Titans' offensive coordinator, but for Ward to take the next step, he is going to need to improve his accuracy. Ward's fantasy arrow is pointing up, but he should still only be targeted as a low-end QB2 with upside in drafts this fall.
