Jacksonville Sharks

On January 20, 2015, Grady was assigned to the Jacksonville Sharks.[10]

On October 14, 2016, Grady was assigned to the Washington Valor during the dispersal draft after Jacksonville chose to leave the Arena Football League. However, on November 29, 2016, Grady elected to remain with the Sharks in the newly created National Arena League for the 2017 season.[11][12] He suffered a season-ending foot injury on April 24, 2017, against the Monterrey Steel.[13][14] Grady played in five games for the Sharks in 2017, completing 71 of 113 passes for 1,060 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 1 interception.[15] On August 14, 2017, Grady signed with the Sharks for the 2018 season,[16] but left the team during the preseason.[17]

Grady won the Most Valuable Player Award in 2018 and 2019. The AFL folded after the 2019 season.

Grady returned to Albany when a new version of the Empire joined the National Arena League (NAL) in 2021. In the 2021 season, Grady made the All-NAL Second Team, as well as leading the team to the 2021 championship. Following the season, he claimed the new organization had not paid his championship bonus, that the experience off-field was the worst of his career, and considered himself retired.[19] He was subsequently suspended indefinitely by the league because of his public statements about the team, which the league claimed to be false.[20][21]

As Hull embraced the new age of public entertainment, attendances at traditional theatre declined.
