Five players who make sense for the Eagles during the second wave of free agency - PhillyVoice
Calais Campbell (38), DT, Dolphins (6’8, 307). Campbell is 38 years old, but still productive. He had 36 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 2022 with Baltimore, 56 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 2023 with Atlanta, and 52 tackles and 5 sacks with Miami in 2024. For what it’s worth, PFF had Campbell graded as the 7th best defensive lineman in the NFL last season, and Dolphins fans seemed to love him. Campbell is a versatile lineman who can play on the edge or on the interior, and the Eagles could use more depth at both spots, especially with Brandon Graham’s retirement and Milton Williams leaving in free agency. Campbell doesn’t have a Super Bowl on his résumé, so if he’s ring hunting maybe he sees the fit and would be willing to play in Philly for one last season at a reasonable price? Howie Roseman was been clear that he wants to add young players, but with an interior line group made up entirely of players on their rookie contracts, there’s room for one old head, especially one who can maybe share some wisdom with the young bucks.

S Julian Blackmon. The Eagles shipped out versatile safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson earlier this month as part of a number of defensive departures. Blackmon is a proven baller, needs a job and deserves a chance to play for a contender. Vic Fangio is also a proven expert at fitting versatile players like Blackmon into the perfect roles and maximizing the return. This pairing almost feels too obvious. We can’t keep letting the Eagles get away with this!
Everybody loves Brandon Graham - BGN
He was one of us. He has always been one of us. He just had to come to Philadelphia to realize it. He’s a Philadelphia Eagles legend. He’s earned the right to be called that. He’s responsible for one of the most iconic plays in Philadelphia sports history—and incredibly, does so much more off the field. You always know he’s in the room by his contagious, bellowing laugh, and his infectious personality. Everybody loves Brandon Graham. And after anyone meets him, they come away feeling the affection is reciprocated. That is why it was so hard to say goodbye this week when Graham announced his retirement after 15 seasons with the Eagles.
What it was like to cover Brandon Graham’s legendary career - NBCSP
The Super Bowl had just ended about a half hour before I walked off the field at the Superdome. It was still covered in green and white confetti. And as I began to make my way through the tunnel toward the Eagles locker room, I ran into Brandon Graham. The Eagles’ legend and longest-tenured player...
