Will Grier: Waived by Patriots
Grier was waived by the Patriots on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
New England signed Grier to its active roster off the Bengals' practice squad in September. He has since been available for depth under center behind Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe, but his services were never called for. The 28-year-old has not seen the field for regular-season action since 2019 in Carolina, and he is now set to look for a new opportunity. One possibility is landing on the Pats' practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.

Will Grier: Plans to sign with New England
The Patriots are expected to sign Grier to their 53-man roster Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Once the move becomes official, Grier -- who had been a member of the Bengals' practice squad -- will provide the Patriots with added quarterback depth behind Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. Meanwhile, the Bengals would be left with Joe Burrow (calf) and Jake Browning as their only options at quarterback between the 53-man roster and practice squad.

Will Grier: Joins Bengals practice squad
Grier agreed to sign with the Bengals' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Grier's eventual release from Dallas was made clear after the Cowboys acquired Trey Lance via trade, but the team allowed him to have an audition in their final preseason game. The quarterback shined by completing 29 of 35 passes for 305 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. His addition to Cincy's practice squad is interesting, as Joe Burrow's (calf) status for Week 1 is uncertain at this time. Jake Browning is the only other quarterback on the Bengals active roster.

Will Grier: Parts ways with Dallas
The Cowboys released Grier on Tuesday.
Grier's release was expected after the Cowboys acquired Trey Lance recently, but the 2019 third-rounder still performed well in Saturday's preseason finale against the Raiders. Grier completed 29 of 35 passes for 305 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing 10 times for 53 yards and two additional scores. Given his results, it's possible he finds a role with another team, even if he has to settle for a spot on a practice squad.
