Overview
- Brandon Graham told fans he was “officially done” on Tuesday during a Jefferson Health “Breakfast with the Birds” event in Philadelphia.
- Graham ends a 16-season career spent entirely with the Eagles that includes franchise records for games played (215), 79.5 career sacks, and two Super Bowl titles highlighted by his strip-sack of Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII.
- He initially retired in March 2025 but un-retired in October 2025 after the Eagles faced injuries and Za'Darius Smith’s midseason exit, then played nine regular-season games and recorded three sacks before the playoff loss.
- Graham spent the 2026 offseason unsigned after expressing a preference to join a team at the start of training camp, and Philadelphia added veteran and young front‑seven pieces that reduced the need for another comeback.
- He said he will focus on family while staying around the organization to mentor younger players, a move that gives the Eagles roster clarity as they open the 2026 season without him.
