Plus, Za&#8217;Darius Smith retired after playing just five games for the franchise. Graham&#8217;s return helped. He played in nine games for the Eagles and saw time at the edge as well as defensive tackle and he had three sacks in nine games. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6m\">Over the course of the offseason, Graham has said multiple times that he wants to play in 2026. Graham has made that point very clear publicly, including most recently on March 11. Graham said he is not retiring and wants to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/eagles\/onsi\/news\/brandon-graham-last-dance-eagles-legend-confirms-17th-season-pat3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">win another ring<\/a> with Philadelphia in 2026 in what would be his final season.  <\/p>\n<p>The Eagles legend has a press conference coming<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kn2r212b0m2cnhgkkj.jpg\" alt=\"Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham\" title=\"Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham\" width=\"8192\" height=\"4608\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6z\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dec 20, 2025; Landover, Maryland, USA; Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (55) celebrates after defeating the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium.

Graham took to Instagram and shared that he would be hosting a press conference on Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/eagles\/onsi\/news\/eagles-legend-brandon-graham-set-to-announce-future-plans-pat3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to announce his &#8220;future plans.&#8221;<\/a> In his post, he specifically said the press conference would be at &#8220;11 am EST.&#8221; So, obviously, one would assume 11 a.m. ET. But, the press conference would be in Phoenix, Arizona at the league meetings, so that would be 2 p.m. ET, if Graham meant 11 a.m. Phoenix time (MST).<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"76\">Regardless, both times have come and passed and no press conference has been held. Not at 11 a.m. ET and not at 2 p.m. ET. In fact, there hasn&#8217;t been an update from Graham at all on social media. Unsurprisingly, this has led many on social media to wonder what&#8217;s going on. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What happened to that 11AM Brandon Graham presser? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mXoGMa0VYd\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/mXoGMa0VYd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eagles Fan Central (@PhilaFanCentral) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhilaFanCentral\/status\/2039006128621637696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What\u2019s the deal with this Brandon Graham press conference lol.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Victor Williams (@ThePhillyPod) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThePhillyPod\/status\/2039023650658025826?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Eagles legend Brandon Graham announced that he&#8217;ll hold a press conference in Phoenix at 11 am EST tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;11 AM EST,&#8221; Graham said on his IG story. &#8220;Tomorrow.

But the timing is interesting. When Graham took to Instagram to announce that he was going to be making an announcement about his &#8220;future plans,&#8221; we broke down three different options it could be: a new deal with Philadelphia, retirement, or some sort of separate business venture.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"89\">At the very least, this idea of calling a press conference only for it not to happen has brought even more attention to whatever the announcement is going to be. At this point, arguably the two most likely options of the three are a new deal or a separate business venture. At this point there is so much attention on Graham that the viewership would be very good if it was a business venture. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What&#8217;s going on with Philadelphia Eagles legend Brandon Graham?
