The Eagles franchise will have one more year before the franchise bids farewell to one of their star defenders. Brandon Graham signed a one-year contract for what he said will be his last NFL season.
Longtime Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Brandon Graham is putting off retirement, at least for one more year. The veteran pass rusher agreed to the terms of a one-year contract, the team announced on Saturday. When Graham suits up for his 15th NFL season with the Eagles later this year, he will set the franchise record for seasons played. Graham has 73 sacks in a record 195 career games with the Eagles, including three sacks last season.
Graham said his decision to stay in Philly was partially inspired by Ray Lewis, who spent his entire 17-year career with the Baltimore Ravens. 'I did it because, I always wanted to get to 15 ,' Graham told CBS Sports. 'I'm happy that the team wanted me one more year. … It's important to me because Ray Lewis was one of the guys I looked up to ; to see him do it the way he did it was nice … but I'm done after this.
Graham also expressed optimism about the addition of longtime Vic Fangio to the defensive coaching staff. Philadelphia parted ways with Sean Desai earlier this year and hired Fangio as the team's new defensive coordinator. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
