After 12 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, it's natural for Lane Johnson to hear the retirement question. However, one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL isn't ready to ride off into the sunset.
Following another Super Bowl title, Johnson posted on social media Sunday that he's "looking forward to many more years to come" while sharing a video of his championship parade speech.
The six-time Pro Bowler has keyed two Lombardi runs in Philly as a rock on the right side of the offensive line. Johnson's athleticism and technique remain unfailing even as he gets long in the tooth -- turning 35 in May.
In 15 regular season games in 2024, Johnson allowed just 10 QB pressures, the fewest among qualifying offensive tackles, and gave up zero sacks and a single QB hit, per PFF.
It would be natural to consider riding into the sunset after spearheading a second Super Bowl, but Johnson has plenty of gas left in the tank for a run at a third ring.
After re-doing his contract in 2023, Johnson has two more years left on his deal. Given the tackle's age and Howie Roseman's eye toward getting ahead of succession, it wouldn't be a surprise if Philly adds a young OT for Johnson to groom, as it once did with Jason Kelce-Cam Jurgens.
