Lane Johnson is one of the faces of the Eagles. A symbol of this team built on the strength of its lines. And even at 34, Philadelphia leaders have always trusted him.
The reigning champion franchise has announced that the contract for his right tackle has been extended by a season. Here is Lane Johnson hired until the end of the 2027 season. He will then be 37 years old.
More than an extension of his lease, his whole contract is changed. ESPN specifies that this new agreement will allow the player to receive $ 8 million more over the next two years. 30 million dollars guaranteed would have been added. Clearly: Johnson should affect 48 million green tickets in the two to come, including 40 million guaranteed.
Not bad for a player who has already won almost $ 140 million during his career.
Lane Johnson, the man behind Saquon Barkley
If Saquon Barkley has achieved an incredible 2024 season, it is not only because the air of Philadelphia would be cooler than that of New York. It is also thanks to an offensive line of which Lane Johnson is one of the pillars.
Drafted in the first round by Philadelphia in 2013, the right tackle has accumulated five all-pro selections and six others in Pro Bowl since. Above all, he won the Super Bowl twice.
Philadelphia leaders take good care of their line. Because Jordan Mailata and Landon Dickerson were already signed until the end of the 2028 campaign. They therefore now know that they will also keep Johnson by their side. Barkley can rub his hands.
