The Philadelphia Eagles’ Quarterback Shake-Up: Will Grier Joins the Competition
The Philadelphia Eagles have made a bold move in their quarterback room by signing Will Grier to a one-year deal, adding competition for the No. 3 quarterback position. Grier will be competing with Tanner McKee for the coveted spot on the roster, bringing a new dynamic to the team’s quarterback depth chart.
A Familiar Face in a New Setting
Grier’s arrival in Philadelphia comes with a connection to the team’s new offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore. The two crossed paths during the 2022 preseason with the Dallas Cowboys, where Moore served as the offensive coordinator. Grier also had a brief stint with the Los Angeles Chargers last season, under Moore’s guidance once again. This familiarity could play a key role in Grier’s transition to the Eagles’ system.
A Rising Star in the Making
While McKee currently holds the front-runner position for the No. 3 quarterback spot, Grier brings a wealth of experience despite his journey through five teams in five seasons since being drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. With two starts under his belt and a desire to prove himself, Grier’s competitive spirit could push McKee to elevate his game and solidify his role within the team.
A New Era in Philadelphia
The Eagles’ quarterback room has undergone significant changes under Moore’s leadership, including the acquisition of Kenny Pickett as the No. 2 quarterback behind Jalen Hurts. With Grier and McKee vying for the No. 3 spot, the competition is fierce, but McKee’s performance in the preseason and his familiarity with the team’s system give him an edge in the race.
“Competition breeds excellence, and the addition of Will Grier to our quarterback room will only push Tanner McKee to reach new heights,” said Eagles head coach.
As the Eagles gear up for the upcoming season, the battle for the No. 3 quarterback position will be one to watch, with Grier and McKee set to showcase their skills and determination on the field. The outcome of this competition could shape the team’s quarterback depth chart for the season ahead.
