The legendary Eagles DE could return to Philly for one more season.
Speaking from Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LX, Brandon Graham reconnected with former teammates Chris Long and Beau Allen on his ‘Brandon Graham Unblocked’ podcast, and gave an update on his retirement status.
“If Howie [Roseman] makes that call, I’m coming back, one more.”
Graham talked about coming in halfway through last season and having to learn some new techniques when he moved inside. Still, he had fresh legs after resting most of the year, and was able to have a huge impact. He noted that it was a great group of guys on defense that weren’t selfish for a stat line and all worked together, which resulted in BG’s impressive sack numbers in just a few games.
The veteran also talked a bit about how the Eagles will have to pay Jalen Carter big money soon and how that will affect some upcoming roster decisions. He quipped that Jaelan Phillips, Reed Blankenship, and one other contract would combine to total what the organization will need to pay Carter.
If the only thing BG needs to come back is an invite from Howie, the Eagles GM should absolutely make the call. He’s earned the opportunity to come back, was still playing at an elite level, and is probably a much cheaper option when considering the salary cap.
Do you want Brandon Graham back for one more season? Or should the team allocate that salary elsewhere? Let’s talk about it in the comments!
