The New Orleans Saints are in need of a quarterback, and former Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush could be the perfect fit. Rush has experience in the Saints’ new head coach Kellen Moore’s system, and he’s shown flashes of being a capable starter in the NFL.
The Saints currently have Derek Carr and Spencer Rattler on their roster, but there are questions about both players. Carr is expensive and aging, and Rattler is still unproven. Rush could provide a bridge between the two, giving the Saints a reliable veteran presence while they develop Rattler for the future.
Rush has a strong connection to the Saints’ coaching staff. Their new quarterbacks coach, Scott Tolzien, was with the Cowboys for several years and worked closely with Rush. This familiarity could make for a smooth transition for Rush in New Orleans.
While Rush might not be a long-term solution for the Saints, he could be a valuable asset as they navigate a difficult salary cap situation and try to rebuild their team. He’s a capable quarterback with experience in the system, and he could provide stability and leadership while the Saints figure out their future at the quarterback position.
