The Cowboys released Grier on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Grier inked a reserve/future contract with the team last month but is now out after Dallas signed Sam Howell as the team's QB3 this week. The 30-year-old Grier hasn't appeared in a regular-season NFL game since his 2019 rookie season with Carolina.

The Cowboys signed Grier to a reserve/future contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Grier spent the entire 2025 season on the Cowboys' practice squad after failing to beat out Joe Bilton for the QB2 job behind Dak Prescott. Grier last saw regular-season action in 2019 with the Panthers (his rookie year), when he completed 28 of 52 passes for 228 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions in two games. He'll be on the Cowboys' 90-man roster when the offseason begins, which gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

Grier was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Grier will remain in Dallas as a member of the team's practice unit after he was released Tuesday. The quarterback spent the final stretch of the 2024 campaign with the Cowboys' practice squad, and he will operate as an extra depth option behind Dak Prescott and Joe Milton in 2025.

Dallas released Grier on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Grier spent time on the Cowboys' and Eagles' practice squads last season, but he last logged regular-season snaps back in 2019 with the Panthers, his rookie year. He may be on the short list to re-sign with Dallas as a member of the practice squad.

Grier (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
The quarterback was signed off the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game. To enter the contest, Grier will need starter Trey Lance and backup Cooper Rush to be injured, sick or ejected. The 2019 third-round pick of the Panthers last appeared in an NFL regular-season game during his rookie year.

The Cowboys signed Grier off their practice squad Saturday, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grier signed with Dallas' practice squad in mid-November a few days after he had been cut from Philadelphia's practice squad. The veteran quarterback hasn't gotten into an NFL game since 2019, when he completed 28 of 52 pass attempts for 228 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions while adding 22 rushes on seven carries over two games with Carolina. Grier will likely be third on the depth chart at quarterback behind Cooper Rush and Trey Lance if he suits up in Sunday's Week 18 game against Washington.

Dallas signed Grier to its practice squad Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grier was cut from the Eagles' practice squad less than a week ago, but now he's getting a chance to make an impression with their division rival. Assuming both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance stay healthy though, it's unlikely Grier will join the active roster any time soon.

Philadelphia cut Grier from its practice squad Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Grier was brought onto the Eagles' practice squad just before the start of the regular season, but now he's headed back to free agency. He'll have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.

Grier signed with the Eagles' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 2019 third-round pick lost the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback battle to both Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee during the preseason, but Grier will remain on the team's practice squad. Grier most recently appeared in an NFL game in 2019 with the Panthers, throwing for 228 yards and four interceptions across two contests.

The Eagles let go of Grier on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Grier inked a one-year deal with Philadelphia back in March, but the team looks to be rolling with Kenny Pickett as the top backup to Jalen Hurts, with rookie sixth-round pick Tanner McKee available as the No. 3 option. Now, for his part, Grier will be free to search for a reserve gig elsewhere in the league.
