June 24, 2025, 11:41 AM +07, Philadelphia, PA – Kendall Lamm, a veteran offensive tackle, is buzzing with excitement after rejoining the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2025 season. The 33-year-old, who previously played for the Eagles from 2017 to 2019, signed a one-year deal with the reigning Super Bowl champions on March 25, 2025, marking a triumphant return to the City of Brotherly Love.
Lamm, who spent the last three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, expressed his joy at coming back to a familiar and winning culture. “It feels like coming home,” Lamm said during a recent interview. “The energy here, the way the team comes together—it’s something special.” His return comes after a standout 2024 season with the Dolphins, where he ranked first among tackles with zero sacks allowed and 10th with an 83.1 pass-blocking grade, according to Pro Football Focus.
The Eagles’ decision to bring Lamm back was driven by the need to bolster depth on the offensive line following the departure of swing tackle Fred Johnson. Lamm’s experience, with 119 career games and 44 starts across multiple teams, makes him a valuable asset as a backup to stars Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson. His familiarity with the Eagles’ system from his earlier stint adds to his appeal.
Lamm’s enthusiasm also stems from the team’s culture, which he credits for their recent success. “Players are never late, never toxic, and after every practice, we spend 15 minutes sharing personal struggles to stay mentally sharp,” he noted, contrasting it with his time in Miami. This reflects the disciplined environment under head coach Nick Sirianni, which helped the Eagles reach two Super Bowls in three years.
Fans are thrilled to see Lamm back, with many taking to social media to welcome the gritty lineman who overcame a season-ending back injury in 2024 to join a championship-caliber team. As training camp approaches, Lamm is eager to contribute to another Super Bowl run. “I’m here to fight and win with this group,” he declared.
With Lamm’s return, the Eagles are poised to defend their title, and his excitement signals a renewed sense of purpose. Stay tuned for more updates as the season nears.
