Grier was a backup on Kellen Moore's rosters in Dallas (2021-2022), Los Angeles (2023), and Philadelphia (2024, on the practice squad). Don't be surprised if he ends up in New Orleans taking Jake Haener's old locker.

Wonder what kind of deal Cameron Jordan gets, and who pays it. He had twice as many sacks as Khalil Mack on 38 fewer pass rush snaps, and he's only 20 months older. Not a huge pass rush productivity gap between them (Mack 8.6, Cam 7.2). Mack was guaranteed $18M last week.
