Will Grier

The Athletic’s Saad Yousuf believes it “wouldn’t be surprising” if the Cowboys entered the 2025 season with Will Grier as Dak Prescott’s backup.

Another thing it wouldn’t be is inspiring, which the sentence “Grier will be 30 at the start of the season but he’s only played in two career NFL games” conveys well. Trey Lance is still available in free agency, but it appears the Cowboys have realized they’re not going to make that happen. Surely the Cowboys had to have had good pre-draft grades on Matt Corral or something like that, right? But no, here we are, staring down Will Grier starts behind a quarterback who has missed 14 games the last three seasons.
