Here\u2019s an overview:<\/p>\n<p>DL Brandon Graham was released.LB Chandler Martin was re-signed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Let\u2019s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Graham\u2019s contract termination appears on the NFL\u2019s official June 2 personnel notice but it was not officially announced by the Eagles. The reason for this? The 38-year-old\u2019s release was procedural since it held post-June 1 cap implications by splitting his dead cap money between 2026 and 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It\u2019s entirely possible, if not likely, that the Eagles will still re-sign their two-time Super Bowl champion at some point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">All things considered, Graham was a quality rotational contributor last season after coming out of his brief retirement. He produced three sacks and two TFLs in 113 defensive snaps played over nine games. He also showed versatility to play at defensive tackle in addition to his normal role on the edge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Only five Eagles players produced more sacks than Graham in the 2025 regular season:<\/p>\n<p>EDGE Jalyx Hunt with 6.5 in 17 gamesDT Moro Ojomo with 6 in 17 gamesDT Jordan Davis with 4.5 in 17 gamesLB Nakobe Dean with 4 in 10 gamesLB Zack Baun with 3.5 in 16 games<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">From when Graham rejoined the Eagles in Week 9 through the end of the season in a playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, only Hunt, Dean, and Jalen Carter had more sacks than BG in that span.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Eagles should re-sign BG.
