Philadelphia Eagles: Brandon Graham denies holdout allegations

Last week, reporters suggested that Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham was absent at early mandatory practices. It was believed that he was holding out in the hopes of getting a new contract.

As it turns out, though, that wasn’t the case.

Graham missed workouts last week that were voluntary. Graham tweeted his affection to the fans and city of Philadelphia to reaffirm his commitment.

Graham finally looked like the first-round pick the Eagles selected in the 2010 NFL Draft. In 2016, Graham excelled in Jim Schwartz’s system, which allowed him to pin back his ears and set the edge.
