Graham had a resurgent year as part of an incredibly deep Eagles defensive line in 2022, tallying a career-high 11.0 sacks on only 473 defensive snaps. The soon-to-be 35-year-old has played 178 games over 13 seasons for the Eagles since joining the team as the 13th overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. He will forever be a Philly icon thanks to his game-sealing strip sack on Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII.
$6 million is an absolute bargain for a player who notched 11.0 sacks and an elite 89.8 overall grade from Pro Football Focus last year, so Graham clearly believes he has a relationship with the Eagles worth preserving. This move drastically increases his chances of retiring an Eagle and perhaps even eventually joining their personal Hall of Fame.
