Eagles Legend Writing Dangerous Checks for 2025<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During his 14-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles, Brandon Graham was known throughout the league as one of the game’s biggest trash-talkers.<\/p>\n

It endeared him to Eagles fans worldwide, as did his heroics on two Super Bowl teams.<\/p>\n

Now, months after his retirement, if fans thought they heard the last of Graham’s entertaingly big mouth, they are sadly mistaken.<\/p>\n

In a video showing Graham speaking to “Janky Rondo” on Instagram<\/a>, the Pro Bowl edge rusher spoke out about the Eagles’ chances of winning back-to-back NFC East titles this season.<\/p>\n

While Graham did make it clear that the Washington Commanders would be in Philadelphia’s way in the division, he also threw some shots at Deebo Samuel – Washington’s newest receiver.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be between us two,” Graham said of the Eagles and the Commanders. “I wouldn’t worry about him (Samuel). He gotta be in shape first\u2014he don’t look like he in shape right now.”<\/p>\n

Samuel has dealt with chatter about his weight over the last few seasons, even before he was traded from the San Francisco 49ers to the Commanders in March.<\/p>\n

But Graham’s comments are dangerous.<\/p>\n

In three career games against Philadelphia, Samuel has recorded 13 catches for over 244 yards and three scores. All three scores came during the last meeting between him and the Eagles – a 42-19 blowout by the 49ers.<\/p>\n

Samuel is not yet proven to be some aged veteran who has obviously lost his burst. He remains – assuming healthy – an extremely dangerous and physical player any time he touches the ball.<\/p>\n

So \u2026<\/p>\n

All Graham is doing is adding attention for himself and adding fuel to the fire for Philadelphia’s two games against Washington this season.<\/p>\n

Unlike past years, Graham won’t be on the field to cash the checks his hyperactive mouth writes.<\/p>\n

That’ll be up to his former team, and the Eagles therefore can’t be too thrilled with his comments.<\/p>\n
