Overview
- Grier announced his retirement from playing on July 15 and the Carolina Panthers placed him on their reserve/retired list.
- Nine days after retiring, Grier accepted a Cowboys coaching job that the team confirmed on Friday, July 24.
- He will serve as an offensive assistant working with Brian Schottenheimer and reporting to offensive coordinator Klayton Adams.
- Grier spent parts of seven NFL seasons with seven teams and had multiple prior stints in Dallas, creating the familiarity behind the hire.
- Carolina’s quarterback room now enters training camp with Bryce Young, Kenny Pickett and rookie Haynes King after Grier’s departure and the move gives Dallas a coach with immediate, recent player experience to aid the offense.
