“I don’t want to go anywhere,” Graham said, via Zach Berman of TheAthletic.com. “I know I don’t have long, but I know for me, I’m here in Philly. So when I’m [retired], either going to be working here or doing something in Philly to stay connected to the team. I don’t want to mess that up by just dipping out when things got a little tough. But who knows how it’s gonna go this year? Jalen might go in there and rock our world and lead this team down a road that I feel we could.”
