Carolina Panthers quarterback Will Grier is retiring.

EDGE Analysis

Grier began his career with the Panthers, making his lone two NFL career starts in the 2019 season. He also spent time as a backup with the Cowboys, Chargers, and Eagles before re-signing with the Panthers. The 31-year-old was drafted in the third round by his hometown Panthers in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Grier is signing with Carolina on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grier will sign on as the Panthers' third-string QB, behind Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett, providing the team with positional depth in advance of the 2026 NFL Draft. A 2019 third-round pick, Grier hasn't logged any regular-season action since he made two appearances as a rookie with Carolina.

The Cowboys released Grier on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Grier inked a reserve/future contract with the team last month but is now out after Dallas signed Sam Howell as the team's QB3 this week. The 30-year-old Grier hasn't appeared in a regular-season NFL game since his 2019 rookie season with Carolina.

The Cowboys signed Grier to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Grier spent the entire 2025 season on the Cowboys' practice squad after failing to beat out Joe Bilton for the QB2 job behind Dak Prescott. Grier last saw regular-season action in 2019 with the Panthers (his rookie year), when he completed 28 of 52 passes for 228 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions in two games. He'll be on the Cowboys' 90-man roster when the offseason begins, which gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

Grier was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grier will remain in Dallas as a member of the team's practice unit after he was released Tuesday. The quarterback spent the final stretch of the 2024 campaign with the Cowboys' practice squad, and he will operate as an extra depth option behind Dak Prescott and Joe Milton in 2025.

Dallas released Grier on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grier spent time on the Cowboys' and Eagles' practice squads last season, but he last logged regular-season snaps back in 2019 with the Panthers, his rookie year. He may be on the short list to re-sign with Dallas as a member of the practice squad.

Grier (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

The quarterback was signed off the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game. To enter the contest, Grier will need starter Trey Lance and backup Cooper Rush to be injured, sick or ejected. The 2019 third-round pick of the Panthers last appeared in an NFL regular-season game during his rookie year.

The Cowboys signed Grier off their practice squad Saturday, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grier signed with Dallas' practice squad in mid-November a few days after he had been cut from Philadelphia's practice squad. The veteran quarterback hasn't gotten into an NFL game since 2019, when he completed 28 of 52 pass attempts for 228 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions while adding 22 rushes on seven carries over two games with Carolina. Grier will likely be third on the depth chart at quarterback behind Cooper Rush and Trey Lance if he suits up in Sunday's Week 18 game against Washington.

Dallas signed Grier to its practice squad Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grier was cut from the Eagles' practice squad less than a week ago, but now he's getting a chance to make an impression with their division rival. Assuming both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance stay healthy though, it's unlikely Grier will join the active roster any time soon.

Philadelphia cut Grier from its practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Grier was brought onto the Eagles' practice squad just before the start of the regular season, but now he's headed back to free agency. He'll have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.
