Eagles release Brandon Graham amid roster changes after A.J. Brown trade

Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran defensive end Brandon Graham on June 4 after trading A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots. This move was expected following Graham's contract situation and comes after the team bolstered its edge rusher position in the offseason. Although Graham announced his retirement after the Eagles' Super Bowl win, he chose to continue for another season.
