1:28 PM: The Eagles had a big addition on Tuesday, agreeing to terms with franchise icon Brandon Graham, who is coming out of retirement. Graham will play a team-record 16th season in Philadelphia and return to action after posting 3.5 sacks in 11 games last season.

Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio said he was teasing Graham not to retire after last season, and he is glad to have No. 55 back. The Eagles have a banged up edge rush room, and Graham figures to factor into the equation when he's ready to take the field.

"You see what kind of shape he's in, what kind of retention he has from last year," Fangio said on how Graham can help. "You know, shape comes in two forms. One, just your conditioning, but [also] in football shape, too, contact shape. So, hopefully the sooner the better." — Matt Ryan
