Quarterback Will Grier, who declined an offer to join the Dallas Cowboys' coaching staff in June to sign with the Carolina Panthers, retired July 15.
The Panthers placed Grier on the reserve/retired list, effectively ending his playing career Grier played two regular season games in 2019 with the Panthers, who selected him in the third round (100th overall) out of West Virginia in that year's NFL draft. He had not made any regular season appearances since then, spending time as a backup with the Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Chargers, and Philadelphia Eagles.According to the Panthers' website, the Panthers will enter training camp with three QBs starter Bryce Young, veteran backup Kenny Pickett, and undrafted rookie Haynes King who were ahead of Grier on their depth chart.
Grier was released by the Cowboys after Dallas signed Sam Howell as a free agent, but had a chance to remain with the organization in a different role.
