Eagles and Brandon Graham Agree To Five Year Deal

Geoff Mosher hinted that a deal was close and now Adam Schefter has confirmed it... The Eagles have signed their first round pick Brandon Graham to a five year deal. The 13th overall pick will be in camp tomorrow.

That means all Eagles picks are signed, all veterans are present and accounted for, and Graham will be ready to go when the full camp with veterans kicks off tomorrow morning.

So far, so good with Eagles training camp 2010.

[Update by JasonB, 07/29/10 10:59 PM EDT ] Brandon Graham was listening when the coach told reporters that he had to get to camp...

“It feels good. Because I really wanted to get to training camp and Coach Reid really wanted me to get to camp and now it’s time to show them why they picked me. I have a lot of work to do, but I’m ready to go.”

Good

Only missed 3 days of rookie days, and will be with the vets the whole time. One of the fastest 1st round signings the eagles had in a while.

Really?

I don’t remember many of their key guys being in on time, but I don’t remember them being out more than a few days either. Sometime during the first week is pretty typical.

Then again, some years recently we didn’t even have a first-rounder to sign.

As someone wrote at the beginning of this thing, you start to worry when the vets show up and your guy isn’t there. Once I saw Trent Williams was signed, I felt pretty good Graham’s would get done.

This is what happens

When you focus on character in your draftees. Team captains, winners of commitment/leadership awards, etc.

A good decision by the FO. Perhaps it was Savage’s idea?

Terrible news.

Last year Maclin held out for a while and then he had a great season. I was really hoping Graham would hold out even longer, cause who knows what he could do then? 1st year all pro if he waited to sign for another two months

there we go

The last cut for roster space.. from here out its simply who is better than who.

My favorite time of year starts now. now the season begins.

2010-11 Predictions:

Kevin Kolb will go to the probowl and complete >65% of passes.

Jeremy Maclyn will have more receptions than Miles Austin & Steve Smith

Graham will have the starting LDE spot tied up by week 5, win ROTY, and have >10 Sacks

11-5 finish.

This sounds like a line from an episode of Hard Knocks. Well done sir.

Speaking of which, how awesome would it be if HBO brought Hard Knocks to Lehigh?

by PF_Flyers22 on Jul 30, 2010 1:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

NOooooooooooooooooooo

Awesome for us, yeah. But I don’t want the team to have that distraction. I can’t see Reid allowing that level of access.
