He’s one of nine Philadelphia Eagles that earned a Super Bowl ring thanks to a game the Birds played in February of 2018. Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox, Derek Barnett, Jake Elliott, Isaac Seumalo, Greg Ward, Lane Johnson, and Rick Lovato are the other eight.
He’s also a Pro Bowler (2020) and one of three Birds who have played for Andy Reid, Chip Kelly, Doug Pederson, and Nick Sirianni. Brandon Graham is an Eagle through and through.
Entering the 2022-2023 NFL season, his 13th, B.G. has enjoyed every high and low that this franchise has seen for just under a decade and a half, but he enters the campaign while experiencing some unfamiliar territory and uncertainty.
The longest-tenured Bird on the roster is coming off of an Achilles tear that robbed him of all but two in-game appearances in 2021, and there’s a chance that the regular season could double as his final 17 games in the midnight and kelly green.
B.G. has done well for himself after a slow start though, and according to Spotrac, regardless of whether or not he’s in the City of Brotherly Love for a 14th season or not, he figures to cash in when we begin discussing free agency next March.
Eagles star Brandon Graham’s potential market value has been released on Spotrac.
Spotrac is the largest online sports resource/financial system for NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL payroll research. They provide information on team payrolls, the salary cap, and player contracts. Recently, they released their opinions on what Graham’s market value may look like heading into the 2023 offseason.
As you would expect, it’s a pretty healthy number.
Graham’s market value is projected to be $10.2 million. They see a two-year deal worth $20,483,733 as being reasonable. That’s an average salary of $10,241,867.
If things were to work out that way, that would rank his deal as the 190th-highest in the NFL. It would make him the 25th-highest-paid defensive end. Currently, with the aforementioned final year of his current deal, he’s set to earn $9,413,000 during the 2022-2023 season.
That includes a base salary of $1,150,000, a signing bonus of $2,500,000, a workout bonus of $100,000, and $5,663,000 he’s getting thanks to a previous restructuring. That makes him the 17th-highest-paid defensive end in the NFL heading into the regular season.
Not bad at all for a former first-rounder who, at times, made us ask if he had what it takes to cut it in an ever-evolving and ultra-competitive NFL.
