Heartwarming Move: Eagles Re-Sign Bryan Braman to 7-Year Deal One Day After His Passing

Philadelphia, PA – In a story that has touched hearts across the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed Bryan Braman to a special 7-year contract just one day after he passed away at age 38. This extraordinary gesture is not just a tribute to the beloved Super Bowl LII champion, but also a promise of support for Braman’s two sons, now 11 and 13 years old.

Bryan Braman, a standout on Eagles’ special teams, lost his battle with a rare, aggressive cancer. Rather than providing a direct donation, Eagles leadership chose to honor Braman with an honorary contract, ensuring that his children will feel as if their father is still present and caring for them — at least in spirit.

A team representative explained, “There’s no way to replace the love of a father. But through this contract, we hope Bryan’s boys will feel his love, pride, and presence every day — carried forward by the team he gave so much to.”

Under the terms of the deal, a symbolic salary will be distributed to Braman’s sons over the next seven years, until they reach adulthood. The move has been universally praised by former teammates, NFL players, and countless Eagles fans across the country.

On social media, one fan wrote, “The Eagles are more than a football team — they’re a family. This is what real loyalty looks like.” Another added, “Nothing is more heartwarming than seeing a team care for its own in such a human way.”

For the Eagles community, Bryan Braman will always be remembered not just for his fearless play on special teams and his role in Super Bowl LII, but for his resilience and the love he gave to his children.

Though Braman is gone, his legacy of courage and care lives on — now carried by his sons, and by the team that made sure he’ll always be right by their side.
