Brandon Graham was on Up & Adams and says he’s only “90% retired” (insert eyeball emojis here):

The first half of that answer doesn’t sound like a guy who is retired if you ask me. That sounds like a guy who is leaving the door open if his triceps rehab goes well and he gets the itch around August. Could we see BG back at NovaCare this summer? I wouldn’t rule it out. He’s still training like he’s coming back for another year apparently. He doesn’t want to sail off into the sunset, sit on a beach, and get fat like some retired guys do. He’s either training hard to slim down for a media job or he’s staying in playing shape.

Now the second part of that answer he was definitely thinking about his wife as soon as she heard this clip because he switched up QUICK! That’s a guy who promised his family he would finally be able to spend more time with them and now he’s already talking about a potential return? Wife ain’t gonna love that!  That’s a veteran move to 180° that quickly. Veteran not only in the NFL, but in the marriage game too. He knew he couldn’t be pigeon-holed once she saw this clip and received a million texts from friends and family about his comeback. Telling her, “Babe I said 90%!” isn’t enough. Women work in absolutes. It better be 100% or nothing. That’s why he dropped the line about having a new motivation now. Guy thinks quickly one his feet. Nothing but respect. He’s got an entire summer to convince her. When you’re in Tulum or the Maldives or down the Jersey Shore in some beautiful oasis that’s the time to lay it on her about how he’s thinking of a potential comeback. We all know nothing can replicate the feeling  of a Philly crowd:
