Overview
- Graham announced his retirement Tuesday at a Jefferson Health “Breakfast with the Birds” event in Philadelphia, telling the crowd “I’m officially done.”
- This is his second public retirement after he initially stepped away in March 2025 and then un-retired to help an injury-hit Eagles group late in the 2025 season.
- He finished a 16-year, all-Eagles career with a franchise-record 215 regular-season games and 79.5 sacks, and he is remembered for the strip-sack of Tom Brady that helped win Super Bowl LII.
- The Eagles reshaped their edge room in the 2026 offseason with additions such as Jonathan Greenard plus veteran depth and rising players like Jalyx Hunt, making another Graham comeback unlikely.
- Graham said he will remain close to the organization as a mentor and pursue family, community and media opportunities, which could keep him involved in team life without returning to play.
