Will Grier is back in the NFC. After spending the 2023 campaign touring the AFC, the former Panthers draft pick is signing with the Eagles, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The quarterback is signing a one-year deal.
Grier was a third-round pick by the Panthers back in 2019, and he garnered his only two career appearances as a rookie. Grier got two starts that season, going 0-2 while completing 53.8 percent of his passes for 228 yards, no touchdowns, and four interceptions.
He spent the 2020 campaign as the QB3 behind Teddy Bridgewater and P.J. Walker, and following Carolina’s 2021 acquisition of Sam Darnold, Grier was let go. He caught on with the Cowboys, where he’d spend a pair of seasons as the third quarterback.
Grier was waived by Dallas after the 2023 preseason, and following a brief stint on the Bengals practice squad, Grier joined New England as part of the team’s QB3 carousel. The 28-year-old spent most of the 2023 campaign with the Patriots, alternating between the practice squad and active roster. After not getting into a game with New England, he ended this past season on the Chargers active roster.
Grier will once again be competing for a QB3 spot in 2024, this time in Philly. The Eagles already brought in Kenny Pickett as the backup to Jalen Hurts, meaning Grier will likely be competing with 2023 sixth-round pick Tanner McKee for the third spot on the depth chart.
