FRISCO, Texas -- Will Grier retired as a quarterback earlier in the month but will continue in the NFL, joining the Dallas Cowboys' coaching staff as an offensive assistant, a source told ESPN on Friday.
Grier had an offer to join the Cowboys' staff earlier in the offseason, but he signed with the Carolina Panthers before the draft before opting to retire on July 15.
He spent last season on the Cowboys' practice squad after rejoining the organization in 2024. In 2021, the Cowboys claimed Grier off waivers from the Panthers, and he was inactive for every game. He remained with the Cowboys through the 2022 season, moving between the active roster and practice squad.
