The Baltimore Ravens have made a notable addition to their quarterback room, signing veteran star to serve as Lamar Jackson’s backup for the 2025 season. Top star, who spent the past several seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, brings valuable starting experience to a Ravens team aiming for another deep postseason run. The move adds depth and security behind Jackson, who is coming off another MVP-caliber year and will now have a steady, proven hand behind him.
Veteran star at 31, started eight games for the Cowboys in 2024, stepping in while Dak Prescott dealt with injuries. During that stretch, he went 5-3 as a starter, completing 64.1% of his passes for 1,845 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. Known for his poise and game-management skills, he helped keep the Cowboys in playoff contention last year. Baltimore is hoping that same reliability can provide them peace of mind should Jackson miss any time.
The Ravens’ search for a veteran backup had been a topic of discussion throughout the offseason, with the team looking to solidify the QB2 spot behind their franchise star. With Tyler Huntley departing in free agency, Baltimore was left with unproven depth behind Jackson. Rush’s signing fills that void, giving the Ravens a capable quarterback who has already proven he can win games in high-pressure situations.
This move also underscores Baltimore’s commitment to maintaining a Super Bowl-caliber roster. In a conference stacked with top-tier teams and quarterbacks, depth is critical. By bringing in Rush, the Ravens not only bolster their QB room but also send a clear message—they’re preparing for every scenario as they aim to capture the Lombardi Trophy in 2025. Fans will now be watching to see how quickly Rush adapts to Baltimore’s offensive system under coordinator Todd Monken, and how his presence impacts the dynamic of the QB room moving forward.
