In 12 games played this season, the 31-year-old QB logged\u00a0187-of-308\u00a0completed passes (60.7%) for 1,844 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions. Whether or not this is enough to earn him an extension offer from the front office remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_640\/MjExOTU5ODc2NjEwNDM1MDQ4\/usatsi_25103013_168413713_lowres.jpg\" alt=\"Cooper Rush's Heartfelt Eight-Word Message Ahead of Free Agency - Athlon  Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images\u00a0<span class=\"credit\">Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that Rush\u00a0lost out on potentially earning $250,000 on the final day of the season. This is after the Cowboys decided to start Trey Lance in their season finale against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Rush did not see any action in the game, which led to him failing to hit the target incentive of playing 55% of the team&#8217;s snaps in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Rush ended the season playing 52.5% of the Cowboy&#8217;s offensive snaps, missing out on a potential $250,000 bonus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s going to be a very interesting offseason for Cooper Rush.
