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.

Malik Willis Gets Three New Receivers in the Draft

Saturday, April 25, 6:54 PM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis entered this week with a relatively weak supporting cast, but the wide receiver room improved during the NFL Draft. The Dolphins selected Texas Tech wide receiver Caleb Douglas and Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell in the third round, and then they went out and drafted Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. in the fifth round. None of these players has the draft capital to be an immediate superstar, but they're still intriguing names who offer youth and upside. Plus, most importantly, all three of them -- and especially Douglas and Bell -- have the potential to get on the field as starters in Week 1. The non-rookies in Miami's wide receiver room are Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell. None of those are flashy names, and we wouldn't be surprised to see any of the rookies establish themselves as immediate contributors throughout training camp and the preseason. Adding capable pass-catchers bodes well for Willis, who is a run-first quarterback but will still need to throw the ball to have success in 2026. He ranks as the QB25 in RotoBaller's early redraft rankings.
