Brandon Graham Signs Low-Cost Deal With Eagles, Donates Half His Salary to Support Disabled Children in Philadelphia
In a heartfelt move that once again proves why he’s one of the most respected figures in the NFL, Brandon Graham has officially signed a new one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles — but it’s not the dollar amount that’s catching attention, it’s what he plans to do with it.
The veteran defensive end, known for his leadership and loyalty to the city, reportedly chose to take a significantly reduced deal to return to Philadelphia for the 2025 season. Sources close to the team revealed that Graham’s decision wasn’t motivated by money, but by a deep connection to the community he’s called home for 15 years.

According to league reports, the Eagles signed Graham to a one-year deal worth approximately $2.44 million, a figure far below what many expected for a player of his caliber and experience. But in an even more touching gesture, Graham has pledged to donate half of his salary to programs supporting disabled children across Philadelphia — a cause he has championed for years through his personal foundation.
“Money can’t buy what I’ve built here in Philly,” Graham said. “I’m playing for this city, for the people who’ve supported me since day one. Football gave me everything, so it’s time to give something back.”
At 36, the two-time Super Bowl champion continues to be a symbol of consistency, grit, and heart. His return not only strengthens the Eagles’ defensive front but also reignites the emotional bond between the team and its fans — a reminder that in Philadelphia, loyalty still matters more than fame or fortune.
As one coach put it after practice, “Brandon Graham doesn’t just lead by example — he is the example.”
