After turning down a coaching offer earlier this year, Grier’s return comes with a twist: he’s not just stepping away from the game, he’s stepping into it from the sidelines.

Now, with his offensive IQ praised and a strong rapport with Dak Prescott, Grier’s coaching potential is being seriously considered. His playing days may be over, but his impact on the Cowboys’ offense is just beginning. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
