NFL quarterback Will Grier retires at age 31, according to multiple reports. The Oregonian says Grier, who has been associated with the Carolina Panthers this offseason, is ending his playing career. Fox News reports that Grier retires after turning down a Dallas Cowboys coaching opportunity. Fox also notes that other players publicly acknowledged his retirement, including Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett, who both post tributes on social media. The reports describe the decision as a retirement rather than a team release or injury-related absence, and they characterize it as occurring suddenly. Together, the sources indicate that Grier was recently linked to an offseason move to the Panthers and had opportunities beyond playing, including a coaching role with the Cowboys, which he declined. The extent of any further plans is not detailed in the provided accounts.
