According to Over The Cap, Rourke's four-year deal is worth approximately $4.33 million. It includes a signing bonus of $134,236 and carries a 2025 salary-cap hit of $873,559.

Rourke (6-4, 220) completed 222-of-320 attempts (69.4 percent) for 3,042 yards with 29 touchdowns and five interceptions through 12 games in 2024, per Sports Reference. He has passed for 8,506 yards over the past three seasons. Rourke transferred from Ohio to Indiana in 2024.
All rookie contracts are set at four years under the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which extends through the 2030 season. Only first-round picks come with a team option for a fifth year, which doesn't apply to Rourke.
"When in structure, Rourke delivers with anticipation, pace and placement and is at his best on isolation routes, especially back shoulders and sideline bucket throws," Dane Brugler of The Athletic wrote in his player analysis. "Though fearless in the pocket, his struggles start to pop up when forced to move from his spot, which leads to lower-body mechanical issues and inaccuracy — he completed just 57 percent of his passes and averaged 163 passing yards against the three best defenses on the 2024 schedule (Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State). Overall, Rourke is a good-sized pocket passer who will push the ball downfield when everything stays on schedule, but his average mobility will be tough to mask against NFL defenses. He is a potential Aidan O'Connell-level backup, if he stays healthy."
