Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has hinted that retired legend Brandon Graham might return to the team.
Fangio, speaking on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd,” suggested, “I think we can convince BG to unretire—he’s got more to give.”
Graham, a star defensive end, announced his retirement on March 18, 2025, after a 15-year career with the Eagles, culminating in a Super Bowl LIX victory.
The 37-year-old played 13 snaps in the Eagles’ 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, battling through a wrist injury to contribute to the championship.
Graham recently told NFL Network’s Kay Adams he’s “90 percent retired,” leaving a 10 percent chance of a comeback, fueling speculation among fans.
He elaborated, “I have new motivations—staying healthy for my kids—but that 10 percent… I doubt it, though I want to keep my word.”
Eagles fans on X are buzzing, with @EaglesNation posting, “BG coming back would be huge for our defense!” while @PhillyFanatic added, “Fangio knows we need his leadership!”
With the Eagles aiming to defend their Super Bowl title, Fangio’s comments suggest Graham’s experience could be vital for another championship run.
