Former Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Brandon Graham ended his retirement and rejoined the team, he announced Tuesday. Graham is a two-time Super Bowl winner.
“According to sources and what you all of heard, now you can hear it from me, I’m back one more time,” Graham said on his Brandon Graham Unblocked podcast. “I’m excited. No expectations baby. Just trying to help the team.”
Graham, 37, initially joined the Eagles as the No. 13 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He appeared in 206 games over 15 seasons with the NFC East franchise.
Graham earned Pro Bowl honors in 2020, when he logged 46 combined tackles, 13 tackles for a loss, eight sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 16 starts.
He won Super Bowls with the Eagles in 2017-18 and 2024-25.
Graham totaled 20 combined tackles, six tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks, two passes defensed and a forced fumble over 11 appearances in 2024.
Graham’s decision to end his retirement came about a week after former Eagles pass rusher Za’Darius Smith announced his retirement. The Eagles signed Smith, 33, to a one-year deal in September.
“Of course, I felt like I had some more juice left before I left and even now, working out and doing all this stuff,” Graham said. “I was like, if something else comes up, I’m going to do it. Then he [Smith] retired abruptly.”
The Eagles (5-2) will host the New York Giants (2-5) at 1 p.m. EDT Sunday in Philadelphia.
