"Philadelphia Eagles Sign Former Cowboys QB Will Grier as Backup for Jalen Hurts"

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing quarterback Will Grier to a one-year contract, adding him to their roster alongside Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett, and Tanner McKee. Grier, who has previous ties to the Eagles' new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, has limited NFL experience, having played in just two games and starting a couple of games for the Panthers in 2019. The Eagles see Grier as a potential asset in bridging gaps during OTAs and training camp, as he competes for a roster or practice squad spot while providing familiarity with Moore's scheme and philosophy.

Eagles Sign Former Cowboys and Patriots QB to Compete for No. 3 Spot

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing quarterback Will Grier to a one-year contract, adding him to their roster alongside Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett, and Tanner McKee. Grier, who has previous ties to Eagles' offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, has limited NFL experience but is expected to provide depth and competition during OTAs and training camp. The Eagles still view McKee as their third-string quarterback, and Grier's familiarity with Moore's scheme could be beneficial as he vies for a roster spot or practice squad position.

"Belichick's Evaluation of Patriots' Backup QBs Revealed"

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick provided a brief assessment of the team's backup quarterback options following their loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Belichick mentioned that second-year backup Bailey Zappe has performed well in the two-minute drill but acknowledged that there were both positive and negative aspects to his performance. Fifth-year quarterback Will Grier has been the third option and has limited opportunities in practice, while undrafted rookie Malik Cunningham is on the practice squad but has seen minimal game action. The Patriots have until November 26 to decide on their quarterback situation before their game against the New York Giants.

"Patriots' Backup QB Ready to Step in if Mac Jones Falters, Report Says"

If Mac Jones struggles in the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the New England Patriots may consider giving backup quarterback Will Grier a chance to take the field. Grier, who currently holds the third spot on the quarterback depth chart, has NFL experience but hasn't played in a game since 2019. While it would be interesting to see Grier in action, he would face challenges playing behind a struggling offensive line and with limited options at the skilled positions.
