The Philadelphia Eagles are poaching yet another former division rival.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that the Eagles are signing veteran quarterback Will Grier to a one-year deal. Grier, a former third-round pick, split time last year between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers.
The 28-year-old Grier is also notable in that he was on the NFC East foe Dallas Cowboys for two seasons from 2021-22. While Grier never saw the field for Dallas and has only ever made two total NFL game appearances (for the Carolina Panthers in 2019), he should be a passable QB3 depth option behind starter Jalen Hurts and fellow newcomer Kenny Pickett.
In the wake of their wild-card round exit last postseason, the Eagles are being proactive on the free-agent market. Grier adds to the multiple players from rival teams that Philadelphia has already signed.
