NFL defensive end Brandon Graham is set to come out of retirement and sign with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday.

The move comes after defensive end Za'Darius Smith announced his retirement, opening up a slot at the position.

Graham spent all 15 years of his career with the Eagles as the longest tenured player in franchise history. 

The 37-year-old announced his retirement following the 2024 season, after he put up just 20 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 11 games (one start). Now, he's returning after the team announced

Over the course of his career, Graham has posted a total of 487 tackles, 153 quarterback hits, 126 tackles for loss, 76.5 sacks, 23 forced fumbles, and 11 pass deflections in 206 games (106 starts). 

He's a two-time Super Bowl champion (2018, 2025) and two-time Pro Bowler who will spin it back one more time for an Eagles team that's currently 5-2 and leading the NFC East division.
