[Thomas R. Petersen] Brandon Graham said he never wanted to retire. He wanted to play, but felt Eagles were in a good place on the DL. It was never a question to play for another team. “It was only going to be for the Eagles”

  1. Howies decision making this past offseason was weird. He put a lot of faith in draft picks I guess

  2. got a feeling he wanted his big exit . between the injury and the retirement being leaked he never really got it. maybe this is in replacement of that. that’s my hunch. 

  3. Say what you want about the underperforming Dline it’s definitely an issue. But man you gotta respect BG for what he means to this organization. Dude could’ve just enjoyed the retirement he deserves but instead is deciding to comeback and help in anyway he can. What an absolute legend!

  4. Dude sure looked like he had a good bit in the tank before the tricep last year.

    Defense is incredibly young and desperate for veteran leadership after losing BG, Sweat, and Slay this offseason. Even if he never gets back to form, its is worth whatever we’re paying him for that alone.

  5. Leadership, skill (he apparently worked out a lot before all this), trash talk king, and could be a coach I’m sure if he wanted to when he truly retired.

  6. exactly. howie nudged him to retire with the “storybook” narrative. now that the DL needs help, that narrative has changed. welcome back BG

  7. Find someone who loves you like ~~Doug Peterson loves Press Taylor~~ Brandon Graham loves the Eagles

  8. We know Bro!! They was smelling they self! That’s why Isiah Rodger’s gone and few others we need. Not talking about the big payouts like Becton.

  9. Its both a happy feeling knowing he’s coming back, but I’m also really hoping he doesn’t play poorly or get injured again.

  10. Some people care way too much about this “giving up a storybook ending” BS. The man still wants to ball and we could definitely use his help both on the dline and in the locker room. Happy to have him back.

  11. I hope it all goes well! I’m sure he’ll be good locker room influence at the very least

  12. Throughout history there have been several Real Ones (Thomas Jefferson, General Patton, The Red Bull guy that jumped off space onto the earth, maybe a few others) but BG might be the Realest of them all.
