Eagles to sign Will Grier to one-year deal - NBC Sports

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Philadelphia is signing Will Grier to a one-year deal.

Grier, 28, spent time with the Cowboys, Bengals, Patriots, and Chargers last year, though he did not appear in a game. Dallas cut him after acquiring quarterback Trey Lance with the intention of keeping him around as the team’s third QB. He had been with the Cowboys since 2021.

The Panthers selected Grier in the third round of the 2019 draft. He started two games as a rookie for Carolina, completing 28-of-52 passes for 228 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions. He has not appeared in a regular-season game since.

Brian Daboll- I wish Saquon Barkley well, except when he plays the Giants - NBC Sports

“I’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for Saquon and all the players that went on to other places. It’s a special group when you’re going through an NFL season, you’ve got to go through ups and downs. . . . Wish him all the best except when he is playing the Giants.”

Barkley’s two games against the Giants will have some extra meaning this year, as one of the most popular players on the team in recent seasons is now playing for a bitter rival.

Mike Evans- Baker Mayfield is "similar" to Johnny Manziel (in a good way) - NBC Sports

Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans played with Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M. Evans now plays with Baker Mayfield. Evans sees a similarity between Manziel and Mayfield, in a good way.

“Man, Baker, man, he surprised me a lot,” Evans said in a recent appearance on TexAgs radio, via JoeBucsFan.com. “With not his game, I knew he was a really good player, just how he is as a leader and a teammate. He really surprised me a lot.

“He’s similar to Johnny, his playing style. I mean, really similar. So it was easy to adjust to play with him. Shorter quarterback. Great athlete. Throws like a baseball player, like really tight spiral. Really good arm. Improvise, can do all those things. Super tough. So I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do this year.”

Damien Harris announces his retirement from the NFL

Running back Damien Harris announced his retirement Monday.

“For the past 20 years, playing the game of football has been one of the greatest privileges of my life,” Harris wrote on social media. “Getting to represent the name on the back of my jersey on and off the field, getting to compete at the highest level with and against the best competitors while winning championships and being coached by the two greatest head coaches of all time in Nick Saban and Bill Belichick are all just a small part of what God has done in my life with the game of football.

“The people I’ve met, the places I’ve been and will go on to go, the experiences and memories I’ve made, the impact I’ve been able to make to this point, these are the things that mean the most to me. Gratitude is defined as ‘the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.’ Today I am grateful I have found strength to walk away from the game I love so much.”

NFL announces it will play two Christmas Day games - NBC Sports

The NFL announced it will play two Christmas Day games in 2024, despite the holiday falling on a Wednesday.

The four teams will play on the Saturday of Week 16, giving them four days rest between games. They likely both will be afternoon games, rather than primetime, based on TV ratings from last year.

“Last year, the two highest-rated games on Christmas, the 1 o’clock [ET] game was the highest and then the 4:30 [ET], and then the lowest was really a big matchup going into it with Baltimore and San Francisco, and it was the lowest but it was still really strong with 27 and change million,” Hans Schroeder, the league’s executive vice president for media distribution, said Tuesday. “But even slight media points like that are helpful.”
