(AP Photo/Jim Mone, File) EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jim Marshall, one of the four members of the famed Purple People Eaters front that formed the backbone of four Super Bowl teams, died Tuesday after a long hospitalization for an undisclosed illness. He was 87. The Vikings announced Marshall's death Tuesday on behalf of his wife, Susan. The native of Kentucky, who played at Ohio State and was drafted in 1960 by the Cleveland Browns, played 19 of his 20 seasons in the NFL with Minnesota. The two-time Pro Bowl pick set a league record for position players with 282 consecutive games played, a mark held by Marshall until quarterback Brett Favre broke it, coincidentally, with the Vikings in 2010. Advertisement 'No player in Vikings history lived the ideals of toughness, camaraderie and passion more than the all-time iron man,' Vikings owners Mark Wilf and Zygi Wilf said in a statement distributed by the team. "A cornerstone of the franchise from the beginning, Captain Jim's unmatched durability and quiet leadership earned the respect of teammates and opponents throughout his 20-year career. Jim led by example, and there was no finer example for others to follow. His impact on the Vikings was felt long after he left the field. Jim will always be remembered as a tremendous player and person. Our hearts are with his wife, Susan, and all of Jim's loved ones.' Though sacks weren't officially tracked by the NFL until 1982, Pro Football Reference recently completed a retroactive compilation of the primary pass-rushing statistic and credited Marshall with 130½ sacks, which is tied for 22nd all-time. Two other Purple People Eaters rank ahead of him: Alan Page (148½) is eighth, and Carl Eller (133½) is tied for 18th. ___ AP NFL:

Eagles move Brandon Graham to reserve-retired list
After winning his second career Super Bowl and capping a record-tying 15 seasons with the Eagles, defensive end Brandon Graham announced his retirement. In April, he left the door open for a potential return, calling himself '90 percent' retired. On Monday, the Eagles officially placed Graham on the reserve-retired list. It ultimately changes nothing regarding Graham's status, if he would choose to return. Multiple teams have placed retired players on the reserve-retired list since June 1. It's a way to spread any remaining dead money over two years. Specifically, $4.555 million lands in 2025 and $4.444 million hits in 2026. Graham can unretire whenever he wants. The Eagles would have to decide whether to reinstate the remainder of his contract or trade/release him. For the player who retires, it's always better to be released — if he has any desire to potentially return. If he's released, he can sign with any other team at any other time, up to and including the last business day before the Super Bowl.
