Longtime Philadelphia Eagles Star Announces His Retirement

The 36-year-old announced his decision during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, saying that he's ending his career with "no regrets."

"I could not be happier with the way my career played out, the love I've gotten, and the success the Eagles have had as an organization," Graham said on Tuesday.

The Eagles selected Graham with the 13th overall pick back in 2010 out of Michigan. He was a one-time All-Pro and a one-time Pro Bowler, and he also produced one of the most memorable moments in Eagles history.

Graham's strip sack of Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII allowed the Eagles to ice the game with a late field goal, taking an eight-point lead that would prove to be their margin of victory.

Graham is the Eagles' all-time leader in games played. He ends his career with 487 tackles, 76.5 sacks, 22 forced fumbles and one defensive touchdown.

Graham was one of only four Eagles players to appear for both Super Bowl rosters, joining offensive lineman Lane Johnson, kicker Jake Elliott and long snapper Jake Lovato. Other franchise legends who helped the Eagles win their first Super Bowl, like Jason Peters and Travis Kelce, have either retired or joined other teams.

Graham's departure is the latest in a line of several Eagles who won't be with the team in 2025. Players like Milton Williams and Josh Sweat left in free agency, while players like CJ Gardner-Johnson and Kenny Pickett have been traded.

We'll see what the future holds for the Eagles after their Super Bowl win, but one of the most impactful players in Eagles history ended a great career on Tuesday.

We wish Brandon Graham well in retirement after a distinguished NFL career with the Eagles.
