Eagles Officially Sign Brandon Graham, Bringing Team Legend Back to Philadelphia

36 views

The Philadelphia Eagles have officially reached an agreement with Brandon Graham, marking the return of one of the most beloved players in franchise history. According to The Athletic, Graham is coming out of retirement to rejoin the Eagles, adding depth, leadership, and heart to a team that has faced key defensive losses in recent weeks.

Graham, now 37, spent 15 seasons in midnight green, recording 76.5 career sacks — the third most in Eagles history — and earning two Super Bowl rings (2018 and 2024). A former first-round pick in 2010, he has long been considered the soul of the Eagles’ locker room.

His comeback comes shortly after the unexpected retirement of Za’Darius Smith, which left a major void on the edge. With several key rushers sidelined, including Nolan Smith and Ogbo Okoronkwo, Graham’s veteran presence is expected to stabilize the defensive front and mentor younger linemen like Jalyn Hunt and Azeez Ojulari.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has praised Graham’s professionalism and relentless motor, saying last year that “even in his late 30s, he still practices like a rookie fighting for his spot.”

Graham last played in the 2024 Super Bowl despite re-injuring his triceps earlier in the season, a testament to his resilience and commitment to the team. His return isn’t just about football — it’s about leadership, legacy, and unfinished business.

Philadelphia fans have already flooded social media with messages of excitement and nostalgia, welcoming back the man who’s worn the Eagles’ colors longer than any player in team history.

Historic Discipline: How Brian Schottenheimer is Changing the Cowboys Forever
Brian Schottenheimer: The New Era of Discipline for the Dallas Cowboys In the 2025 NFL season, head coach Brian Schottenheimer has created a historic turning point for the Dallas Cowboys, guiding the team through four consecutive games without a single turnover — a feat never achieved in the franchise’s 66-year history. (si.com) 🏈 Turning Point After Defeat It all began after a disappointing Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears, when Dak Prescott threw two interceptions and Javonte Williams fumbled. This marked a pivotal moment for the team’s mindset and discipline. Since then, the Cowboys have gone four straight games without a turnover — a new record for the team. (motorcyclesports.net) We also need to praise Prescott, who was struggling with interceptions during the 2024 season before suffering a hamstring injury. He threw a total of three over the first three games, leading to some anxiety, but he’s since turned into an MVP-caliber player. It takes everyone on offense to produce such results, but the quarterback touches the ball on every play, so it starts with him. The only negative aspect of this is that Dallas is just 2-1-1 in that stretch, with a tie against the Green Bay Packers and a stunning loss to the Carolina Panthers. Their defense shoulders the blame for those results, but they’ve still remained competitive despite their struggles thanks to Prescott and the historically efficient offense in Dallas. 📊 Discipline From Locker Room to Field Schottenheimer didn’t just change tactics — he built a strict culture of discipline. During practice, he required the team to run sprints as punishment for on-field mistakes. Veteran wide receiver CeeDee Lamb shared that the team warmly embraced Schottenheimer’s coaching style, especially when it came to maintaining discipline. (cbssports.com) 🧠 From OC to HC: A Remarkable Journey Before becoming head coach, Schottenheimer had over 25 years of experience as an assistant coach, including serving as the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator in 2023. Under his leadership, the team scored 30 or more points in seven of the last 11 games of the 2023 season. (en.wikipedia.org) 🔮 A Bright Future With modern strategies and strict discipline, Schottenheimer has made the Cowboys a tough team to beat. While the team tied one game and lost another in the four-game turnover-free streak, the clear improvement in play has made fans optimistic about the team’s future. (si.com) With Schottenheimer, the Dallas Cowboys are not just aiming for victories — they are building a culture of discipline and efficiency, laying a solid foundation for future success.
