Eagles Sign Former Cowboy Will Grier, Bolstering Quarterback Depth
The one-year contract with Grier aims to enhance the team's offensive strategy with his extensive practice squad experience.
- The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Will Grier to a one-year contract, enhancing their quarterback depth behind starter Jalen Hurts.
- Grier, 28, has not played in a regular-season game since his rookie year in 2019 but has extensive experience on practice squads, including stops with the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, and Los Angeles Chargers.
- The Eagles' quarterback room now includes Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett, and Tanner McKee, with Grier positioned as the fourth option on the depth chart.
- Grier's signing follows the Eagles' recent acquisition of Kenny Pickett from the Pittsburgh Steelers, solidifying their backup quarterback position.
- Grier's experience with Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier from their time together in Dallas is seen as valuable for adapting to the team's offensive system.
