After seven months away from the Philadelphia Eagles, Brandon Graham is eager to play again.
Graham, who spent all 15 years of his NFL career with the Eagles, is adding another as he finalizes a deal to return to his former team, according to multiple reports. The Eagles are expected to make the move official on Wednesday.
Graham, a two-time Super Bowl champion in Philadelphia, was the longest-tenured player in Eagles history when he retired following the team’s Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

But, with the Eagles facing some depth issues on their defensive line, especially with Za’Darius Smith surprisingly announcing his own retirement midway through the year, Philadelphia is calling on an old friend to help them out.
The Eagles have just 11 sacks through seven games, which ranks last in the league. Graham totaled 76.5 career sacks and 487 combined tackles in 206 regular-season games. He recorded 126 tackles for loss and 153 quarterback hits in his record total games.

Graham not only brings experience, but also natural leadership experience to a franchise where he is adored.
While Smith is retired, the Eagles have seen Nolan Smith placed on injured reserve, while Jalen Carter missed a good amount of time due to injury. Azeez Ojulari is also dealing with a knee injury.
Graham said he would answer some questions on his “Brandon Graham Unlocked” podcast, which one would believe includes the thinking behind his decision to return.

While Graham won the Super Bowl in his final season at the time, he tore his triceps, leaving him unable to play until the Super Bowl. He had 20 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 11 regular-season games before his injury last season.
