Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Chargers are signing QB Will Grier off of the Patriots’ practice squad on Monday.
Easton Stick really struggled for the Chargers last week and Grier worked with OC Kellen Moore while they were in Dallas.
Grier, 28, was selected with the No. 100 overall pick in the third round by the Panthers out of West Virginia in 2019. He was entering the third year of a four-year, $3,299,281 deal that included a $779,281 signing bonus when Carolina waived him.
The Cowboys claimed Grier and he spent the rest of the season on their roster. Dallas waived Grier coming out of the preseason in 2022 and re-signed him to the practice squad before promoting him to the active roster later in the year.
The Cowboys released Grier as a part of final roster cuts in 2023.
From there, he caught on with the Bengals’ practice squad towards the end of August before joining the Patriots.
In 2019, Grier started two games and completed 28 of 52 pass attempts for 228 yards, no touchdowns, and four interceptions. He added seven rush attempts for 22 yards.
