Cowboys announce new contract for Cooper Rush

The Dallas Cowboys are set at the quarterback position with starter Dak Prescott still under contract for another two seasons, and they've gone ahead and taken care of securing the backup position.

The Cowboys have re-signed quarterback Cooper Rush to a two year contract worth up to $6 million with the first year and a signing bonus fully guaranteed in the deal. 

It was Rush who was summoned into service for the Cowboys last season after Prescott suffered a broken thumb. He would finish the season completing 84-of-162 passing attempts for a total of 1,051 yards and five touchdowns, while also going 4-1 in his time as starter.
