Eagles Legend Tells Kay Adams He's '90 Percent Retired'

It was less than a month ago that longtime Eagles defensive end and team captain Brandon Graham announced his retirement following his second Super Bowl ring.

But it sounds like the Pro Bowl pass rusher isn't completely closing the door on a potential comeback. In a conversation with FanDuel's Kay Adams on Wednesday, Graham was asked "how retired he is" and his answer wasn't 100%.

"I'm 90% retired... I'm 90%," Graham laughed. "The [10%] is how much I want to continue to train the way I'm training. I'm training a little bit... to make sure that I'm staying fit while I'm still rehabbing my arm."

"I'm 90% retired..."

"... So that 10% is 'just in case,'" he concluded. "But I doubt it, because I try to be a man of my word and I don't want to have to play the back-and-forth stuff. I'm just gonna accept it and just move on and get ready for what's next."

Graham spent 15 seasons in the City of Brotherly Love where he played in 206 games, racked up 76.5 sacks and forced 22 fumbles.

His signature moment came against the Patriots back in Super Bowl LII when he stripped Tom Brady with just over two minutes left to help seal the Eagles' first-ever Lombardi.

With all that said, it's been a while since Graham was a full-time starter on Philadelphia's defense and his on-field impact hasn't been the same since at least 2020.

It's hard to put a price on great leadership though and the former Michigan Wolverine has that in spades.

Eagles fans will almost assuredly support BG no matter what direction he chooses to go in.
