The NFL Draft was the main event from April 23-25, and rightfully so.

With every franchise needing to upgrade its roster before the next stretch of the offseason/free agency, fans were eager to see the various approaches teams planned to employ.

In the days leading up to the draft, though, the Carolina Panthers were among the organizations that made intriguing free agent roster moves. Specifically, the Panthers signed a 31-year-old former Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback to compete with Bryce Young.

“As the draft draws closer and teams fill out their rosters, Cowboys QB Will Grier is signing with Carolina, where he started his NFL career in 2019,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported last Tuesday. “Grier now will join a quarterback room that includes Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett.”

To say that Grier has bounced around the league since 2019 would be an understatement. The 2019 third-round pick started his career with the Carolina Panthers before competing with the Dallas Cowboys (twice), Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, , Eagles, and the Panthers again.
