Eagles great Brandon Graham drops tantalizing hint to fans amid comeback rumors in Philadelphia

Brandon Graham, the longest-tenured player in Philadelphia Eagles history, appears ready to make his return for the defending Super Bowl champions.

The 37-year-old retiree and part-time podcaster teased Tuesday’s upcoming episode of his show, Unblocked, with some big news for the Eagles faithful.

‘Hey what’s up Eagles fans,’ Graham said in the self-shot video. ‘Tune in tomorrow on Unblocked. I got some special news new for y’all and we got a lot to talk about. Go Birds.’

Those too impatient to wait for Tuesday’s podcast can thank multiple reports for spoiling the surprise: Graham is making a comeback.

As reported by ESPN, NFL Network, and even former teammate Jason Kelce, Graham is finalizing a new deal and will return to the team this week.

And that’s not a moment too soon for a feeble Eagles pass rush that has managed just 11 sacks across seven games.

The University of Michigan product made $97million during his NFL career that first ended in February after he helped the Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

It was a miracle he played in New Orleans, having worked his way back from a torn triceps that he suffered in Week 12 of last year's NFL season. Graham went on to re-tear the muscle during the win in Louisiana.

The former first-round draft pick out of Michigan in 2010 ended his career as the all-time leader in games played for the Eagles with 206, ranked third with 76.5 sacks and had the most postseason sacks with 5.5.

Graham is also one of four players who participated in both of Philadelphia’s Super Bowl wins: following the 2017 season against New England and in February against Kansas City.

After working his way back from injury, Graham got on the field for 13 snaps and made one tackle in the 40-22 win over Travis Kelce and Co.

He had a much bigger impact in the Super Bowl win against the Patriots when Graham’s strip-sack of Tom Brady late in the fourth quarter thwarted a comeback attempt and helped deliver Philadelphia its first Lombardi Trophy.

Graham’s return comes a week after the unexpected retirement of Eagles edge rusher Za'Darius Smith.
