Report: Graham coming out of retirement to rejoin Eagles

The longest tenured player in Philadelphia Eagles history is rejoining the team.

Defensive lineman Brandon Graham is coming out of retirement to return to the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Graham is reportedly in the midst of finalizing a contract that will see him rejoin Philadelphia this week.

Graham is expected to announce his return Tuesday. He teased a "special announcement" on X on Monday.

The 37-year-old retired after the Eagles won Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year. The victory gave Graham his second Super Bowl ring as a member of the franchise.

The Eagles are in desperate need of pass-rushing help following the retirement of Za'Darius Smith and the injury to Nolan Smith.

Graham racked up three sacks in 11 games in a rotational role for Philadelphia last year.

A one-time Pro Bowler, Graham is three seasons removed from a career-high 11-sack campaign in 2022.

Philadelphia sits in first place in the NFC East with a 5-2 record.
