Eagles DE Brandon Graham retiring after 2024 season

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham intends for the 2024 season to be his last in the NFL.

Graham, 36, spoke to reporters on the first day of training camp Wednesday he prepared for his 15th season with the franchise.

"Last first day as a player," he said. "I don't know what the future holds next year in the organization, at the next level, but I know it will be something."

"... This is my last year, man, so I'm just trying to soak it all in, trying to enjoy every day, trying to give it everything. No stone unturned."

A first-round pick (13th overall) in 2010, Graham enters 2024 ranked fourth in Eagles history in sacks (73).

No Philadelphia player has appeared in more regular-season games than Graham (195), whose 11 postseason games include a Super Bowl LII victory against New England.

Graham helped the Eagles secure a 41-33 victory over the Patriots for their first championship with a strip-sack of Tom Brady late in the fourth quarter.

A Pro Bowl selection in 2020, Graham has recorded 467 tackles, 146 quarterback hits, 21 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries (one for a touchdown).
