The Carolina Panthers have made significant changes to their quarterback lineup this offseason, trading Andy Dalton and signing Kenny Pickett to a one-year deal. To further solidify their backup options, they have re-signed Will Grier, a quarterback drafted in 2019. Grier, who has had limited success in the NFL with only two starts and a completion rate of 53.8%, has not proven to be an impactful player, throwing zero touchdowns and four interceptions in his career. With Grier's addition, the Panthers have effectively ruled out drafting a quarterback in the upcoming NFL draft, focusing instead on addressing other roster needs. While they had scouted potential backup options like Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia, it appears they are content with their current depth chart. Grier's previous selection as a third-round pick has drawn criticism, especially considering the talent available at that draft position, including players like Alexander Mattison and Maxx Crosby, who were selected shortly after him. The Panthers now look towards the future while Grier remains a question mark in their quarterback strategy.
