Graham re-signs with Eagles on 1-year deal

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham is bypassing the opportunity to test free agency and staying with the franchise on a one-year deal, he told ESPN's Tim McManus.

Graham said he told his agent to broker a deal with Philadelphia as he didn't want to "miss out" on another potential championship run.

The one-year contract is worth up to $6 million, a source told McManus.

"It wasn't even about no money," Graham said. "It was more about wanting to be an Eagle as long as I could still play at a high level, and of course I still have a sour taste in my mouth on how things ended this last year."

The 34-year-old has been a member of the Eagles since the organization selected him in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He's coming off his best season as a pro after recording 11 sacks during last year's Super Bowl run, which ended with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He's posted 70 career sacks.

Multiple key Eagles players are set to become free agents later in March, including Javon Hargrave, James Bradberry, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
