Eagles confirm return of key veteran for 'farewell tour' season

The Philadelphia Eagles confirmed Saturday that a standout veteran will be returning for one final season.

Brandon Graham will return to the Eagles on a one-year deal, the team announced. The veteran pass-rusher has previously suggested 2024 will be his final season and will serve as a “farewell tour.”

Graham will play his 15th and final season in Philadelphia. This will be his “farewell tour,” as he termed it — and he’ll be a valuable locker room voice for a roster in transition. https://t.co/n821SfMAAU

Graham, a 14-year veteran, has been one of the Eagles’ core players for more than a decade. He has 73 career regular-season sacks, not including the famous strip-sack of Tom Brady that helped clinch an Eagles win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. He will provide veteran leadership in what may wind up being a transitional season for the team’s defensive line.

The Eagles will appreciate having the likes of Graham around, as several longtime stalwarts appear to be on their way out.
