Mike McCarthy just announced the addition of a formidable new talent to further strengthen his team’s attack.
The Dallas Cowboys have built their team on the philosophy of drafting and developing, and they typically use free agency to fill holes rather than make big splashes. While they have a lot of needs to address, such as wide receivers, linebackers, defensive lines, offensive lines, tight ends, kickers and backup quarterback, Dallas prefers to retain its own players.
The Cowboys used the franchise tag on running back Tony Pollard, but they mostly want to extend the contracts of players such as WR CeeDee Lamb, CB Trevon Diggs and C Tyler Biadasz, who are eligible for second contracts. RB Ezekiel Elliot’s release was the biggest story of the week but was expected to happen.
Rush, the quarterback, signed a two-year contract to come back to Dallas. It’s important that the Cowboys are aware of what they have in their backup quarterback because Dak Prescott has missed at least one game due to injury in the previous three seasons.
Throughout his career, Rush has a 5-1 record, eight touchdown passes, and four interceptions. After Prescott broke his thumb in the regular season, the Cowboys would not have advanced to the postseason without his reliable play. In the event that Rush needs to play and something happens to Prescott once more, teammates think they have a chance.
