The Carolina Panthers announced on Apr. 21 that they have agreed to terms with quarterback Will Grier, adding depth at the position and bringing back a player who began his career with the team.
Grier, who is 31 years old, was originally selected by the Panthers in the third round of the 2019 draft. His return provides another option behind quarterbacks Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett as the team prepares for the upcoming draft. The announcement comes as the Panthers are set to play an extra preseason game, specifically in the Hall of Fame game against the Cardinals, which could require additional depth during offseason activities.
After leaving Carolina, Grier was claimed off waivers by Dallas in 2021 and has since spent time with several other teams including Cincinnati, New England, Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, and returned again to Dallas. Despite these moves, his only regular season game experience came during his rookie year with Carolina.
The Panthers have achieved multiple division titles and playoff appearances according to their official website. The organization also supports community outreach and philanthropy across both North and South Carolina according to their official website.
Home games are played in downtown Charlotte according to their official website, where fans can purchase season tickets or single-game tickets along with premium seating options according to their official website. The team emphasizes building a championship culture while engaging actively within its communities according to their official website.
With this move ahead of a busy offseason schedule that includes an additional preseason matchup, observers will watch how Grier’s return impacts roster decisions as preparations continue.
