The Philadelphia Eagles have reached an agreement with veteran Brandon Graham on a one-year contract, the club announced on Saturday. This deal signifies Graham’s return for a franchise-record 15th season as a defensive end with the team.
Graham boasts an impressive record of 73 sacks across a record-setting 195 career games with the Eagles, including three sacks in the previous season. At 35 years old, he remains a highly regarded figure both in the locker room and within the Philadelphia community.
Graham’s contributions have been pivotal to the Eagles, notably his crucial strip sack of Tom Brady late in Super Bowl LII, securing the franchise’s sole Super Bowl victory with a 41-33 triumph over the Patriots on February 4, 2018.
Originally drafted by Philadelphia as the 13th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft from the University of Michigan, Graham has established himself as a cornerstone of the team’s defense. Despite missing most of the 2022 season due to a torn Achilles tendon, he rebounded strongly, achieving a career-high of 11 sacks upon his return.
