The best way for the Eagles’ Core Four to delay thinking about the possibility of divorce is to throw a five-year anniversary party.
Of the 33 active NFL players who have played at least 127 regular-season games without changing teams, four have been Eagles teammates since 2013: Defensive end Brandon Graham arrived in 2010 and was joined in three successive years by centerOne subplot to the visit from the 49ers on Sunday in the NFC Championship game is that it could be the final home game at Lincoln Financial Field for multiple members of the Core Four, all of whom are looking to delay decisions on their futures by...
Graham, Kelce and Cox rank fourth, fifth and seventh, respectively, in games played in franchise history. All three are playing under their fourth head coach and will be free agents after the season. Johnson, who is further down the list because of injury-shortened seasons, is signed through 2025.“I tell a lot of people, I feel like me and B.G. have been married for 11 years now,” Cox said. “Some of the things he does, it’s just second nature.
“Maybe three years ago … it was on my mind quite a bit,” Kelce said. “I’ve learned now that I don’t know when that last game is going to come, so maybe I think about it a little bit less. It’s always a chance that that’s going to be the situation, but you just try to think about the game and focus on taking in the moment and being 100 percent there. It’s hard enough doing it that way. It’s going to be a lot harder if you’re not focused.
The Yankees built a Core Four that won five championships together, but it’s easier to keep a nucleus together in MLB than in the salary-cap-governed NFL. None from among Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada or Andy Pettitte retired on top. But a second championship is a possibility for some Eagles.
“I’m soaking it all up one day at a time,” Graham said. “I’m more so trying to finish the deal on this season. We’ll talk more as that goes, but I’m trying to stop time as much as I can.”
