Summary
Will Grier announced on Instagram that he retired Wednesday at 31, ending a pro career in which the former third-round pick appeared in only two NFL games.
April had brought Grier back to Carolina on a new deal, but he instead chose to leave playing entirely after reportedly receiving a coaching opportunity with the Dallas Cowboys.
228 passing yards and four interceptions marked his entire NFL stat line, all from two rookie-season appearances with the Panthers after they drafted him in 2019.
Carolina now heads into training camp with three quarterbacks — Bryce Young, Kenny Pickett and Haynes King — while former teammates including Dak Prescott posted tributes to Grier.
