The Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive end Brandon Graham to a one-year extension, the team announced Saturday.

The deal is worth $4 million, according to Derrick Gunn of JAKIB sports.

Graham is set to enter his 15th NFL season, all with the Eagles. They drafted him in the first round of the 2010 draft.

He said it'll be his last NFL season.

"It was tough in the beginning, but now things have been forgiven," Graham said earlier this week, according to Kevin Patra of NFL Network. "It's been so welcoming, and I'm just trying to make sure that Philly knows that I'm gonna ride with them 'til the end."

The 35-year-old played in 17 games last season, recording 16 tackles and three sacks. He never played more than 51% of the defensive snaps in a single contest.

However, Graham is still a productive pass-rusher when called upon. He contributed 30 pressures last season and led all Eagles edge rushers in pass-rush win percentage, according to PFF.

Graham is most known for strip-sacking Tom Brady in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LII. The former second-team All-Pro has 467 tackles and 73 sacks in 195 career games.
