NFL done deal: Ex-Patriots Will Grier’s one-year deal helps the Eagles improve their quarterback depth

Last season was not especially memorable for the Philadelphia Eagles and their faithful fans. Their performances in key games were not anything to write home about, and ultimately, the team came up short against the mighty Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who went on to win their third Super Bowl title in five years.

Now, with the retirement of Jason Kelce, the Eagles are looking for some much-needed inspiration within their ranks. Moreover, with the offseason trade window winding to a close, it is imperative for the franchise to sign some talent in the pivotal positions on the pitch. That might be why the Philadelphia Eagles have offered a one-year contract to veteran QB Will Grier.

Eagles sign Will Grier as backup QB with one-year deal

As per NBC Sports, the Philadelphia Eagles have signed veteran 28-year-old Will Grier on a one-year deal. With this panic buy, it has become obvious that the Eagles administration is aiming to strengthen their bench in light of the massive injuries suffered by the first-team starters. Additionally, the upcoming season might be a chance for players like Jalen Hurts and this season’s signing Kenny Pickett to shine under the guidance of former Cowboy and New England Patriot Grier.

Some Philadelphia Eagles faithful have been very optimistic about this new signing. Some have even equated the arrival of Will Grier as a sureshot chance of bolstering their title charge next season. One user echoed the sentiment by saying, “EAGLES SUPER BOWL LETS GO.” while another quipped, “The “Quarterback Factory” is so back and I’m honestly for it.”

What is the current QB depth of the Eagles?

“The Quarterback Factory” is a tag that has been born by the Philadelphia Eagles since time immemorial, due to their commendable squad depth in this particular position. The Eagles have never been down in the dumps due to the lack of a competent quarterback, and the administration bolstered this belief by bringing in Will Grier from the Pats.

The current QB depth of the Eagles houses first-choice QB Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett, Tanner McKee and Will Grier. One can only hope that the signal-callers get ample playing time throughout the season. However, it seems increasingly unlikely as Hurts starts gaining form.
