## Resource

Will Grier, the surprise free agent signing by the Carolina Panthers, has retired from the NFL just as training camp looms — a major shakeup for a team already navigating quarterback depth behind Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett. Once a third-round pick in 2019, Grier spent seven seasons in the league, playing in just two games, bouncing between practice squads and backups. His brief stint with Carolina’s offense in 2019 was disastrous — zero TDs, four picks — and his return this offseason now feels like a wasted opportunity. With Grier out, the Panthers’ QB depth chart is suddenly thinner, forcing them to scramble before the season starts.
