The quarterback room of the Philadelphia Eagles is beginning to fill up a little.

Only a few days before to the addition of former Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett through trade, the Eagles and former Cowboys backup quarterback Will Grier are said to have reached an agreement on a one-year contract on Saturday.

After playing a large portion of the 2023 season in New England, Grier, 28, arrives in Philadelphia.

Will Grier’s Journey in NFL so far

Grier, who was selected by the Panthers in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, has been up and down the league since arriving in Carolina almost five years ago.


Prior to the 2021 season, he signed a contract with the Cowboys, where he would stay until the trade of Trey Lance in the fall of last year. A few weeks later, he was signed by the Bengals and headed to New England.

Hopefully, Grier can do well for the Eagles.
