Johnson is one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL, and has been a member of the Eagles for the last 12 years.

He was drafted in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

In his career, Johnson has made six Pro Bowls and five All-Pro teams.

He has also been a member of both Super Bowl-winning teams for the Eagles.

Johnson is one of the cornerstones of the Eagles franchise, and they are rewarding him handsomely for his production and loyalty.

On Monday, the team reworked his contract to pay him an extra $8 million over the next two years.

The restructured contract also includes and extra $30 million in guarantees.

Johnson originally signed a four-year, $80.75 million deal in 2023.

He had two years left on the contract, but the restructured deal added an extra year on the end of his contract.

It now runs through the end of the 2027 season.

Johnson is currently entering his age-35 season and will be 38 when his deal is up.

Still, he is extremely productive and fans believe he has earned his new deal.

“Who’s a better RT in the NFL than Lane Johnson?” one fan said.

“One of the best in the league,” another fan said.
