Could Brandon Graham Come Out Of Retirement?

Brandon Graham is an Eagles legend. Most games played in franchise history. The 3rd most sacks in franchise history. When he retired this past off-season, he did so as one of the franchise greats. But could he come back?

Sunday, just before the game, Adam Schefter put out a report that Brandon Graham is "strongly considering coming out of retirement.

Graham did leave the door slightly open when he announced his retirement. His decision did not sound as final as it did the year before when Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox both retired.

And the Eagles could use him. They are desperate for Edge Rush help, especially after Za'Darius Smith retired out of nowhere. Nolan Smith will be back soon, likley after the upcoming bye week. But even with him, they will still need more depth there.

Maybe Graham is the answer. He is 37, but before he tore his triceps vs the Rams, he looked fresh. He had 3.5 sacks and 20 tackles in 11 games. Then he even made an early comeback to play in the Super Bowl, where he actually retore his triceps.

It is hard to tell until he gets back on the field. But with the team being so desperate it might be worth the gamble.

Graham played for 15 seasons in an Eagles jersey. He racked up 76.5 sacks in that time, along with 487 tackles. He only made 1 Pro Bowl, but was the model of conistency over the course of his Eagles career. Now he might get the chance to add on to those numbers.

He would need 9 sacks to move into 2nd place alll-time on the Eagles sacks leaderboard. That seems highly unlikley. But it could be a chance for the Eagles legend to pad his numbers a bit more, and to help them with a major problem they currently have.
