NFL Media reported the deal is worth $40 million. Graham earned $7 million in 2018.
Selected in the first round (No. 13 overall) by the Eagles in 2010, the 30-year-old veteran has been one of the unsung heroes of the defense in recent years. A second-team All-Pro selection in 2016, he endeared himself forever to Eagles fans with his strip sack of Tom Brady just before the two-minute warning of Super Bowl 52 as Philadelphia held on to win, 41-33.
Bennett had four sacks, 11 QB hits and nine tackles for a loss last season.
