A familiar name has gone back to a familiar home.
As announced on Monday, former Carolina Panthers quarterback Will Grier has signed with the Dallas Cowboys on a reserve/future deal. Grier, whose first two NFL seasons came in Carolina, now returns to Dallas—where he spent parts of 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025.

The Panthers selected Grier, a West Virginia University standout, in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The Davidson, N.C. native would go on to start in the team’s final two games of that year, completing 28 of his 52 throws for 228 yards and four interceptions in a pair of losses.
Grier was then waived prior to the start of the 2021 regular season. He’d be claimed by the Cowboys a day later.
In addition to his stints for Carolina and Dallas, Grier also made stops with the Cincinnati Bengals (2023), New England Patriots (2023), Los Angeles Chargers (2023) and Philadelphia Eagles (2024).
The 30-year-old has not appeared in a regular-season contest since his rookie campaign with the Panthers.
