Former Philadelphia defensive end Brandon Graham is finalizing a deal to come out of retirement and rejoin the Eagles, according to multiple media reports Monday.
Graham, 37, announced before the 2024 season that it would be his last. He finished his NFL career at the time with his second Super Bowl title and with a 15-year career that made him the longest-tenured player in Eagles history.
There were some rumblings last week that Graham was considering coming out of retirement. Following Monday's reports, he posted a video to social media teasing 'some special news' he would share Tuesday on his podcast, 'Brandon Graham Unblocked.'
The news comes one week after Philadelphia defensive end Za'Darius Smith abruptly announced his retirement on Oct. 13 after signing a one-year, $4.25 million contract with the Eagles on Sept. 5.
Graham, the 13th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, has appeared in 206 games (106 starts) for Philadelphia. A one-time Pro Bowler in 2020 and one-time second-team All-Pro in 2016, he's recorded 487 tackles, 126 tackles for loss, 76.5 sacks, 153 quarterback hits, 23 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries over his prestigious career.
It's unclear what his timeline for making his season debut could be. The Eagles (5-2) host the New York Giants (2-5) on Sunday.
