Philadelphia Eagles re-sign linebacker Brandon Graham

The Philadelphia Eagles have confirmed that they have re-signed outside linebacker Brandon Graham on a four-year deal.

The NFC East side selected Graham in the first round of the 2010 Draft, but the linebacker failed to live up to expectations as he struggled to become an integral part of the Eagles' defense.

However, following the release of Trent Cole, Chip Kelly has decided to retain Graham on a four-year deal worth $26m (£17.1m), with $14m (£9.2m) guaranteed, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2018 campaign.

The 26-year-old has recorded 121 tackles and 17 sacks in his five seasons in the NFL.
