Lane Johnson isn’t ready to hang up his cleats just yet. After 12 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, including two Super Bowl wins, it’s only natural that retirement talks start to pop up. But even with a fresh championship under his belt, the 35-year-old right tackle is far from calling it a day. Instead, Johnson is looking ahead, fired up for the future, and ready to keep leading the Eagles' offensive line for years to come.

Lane Johnson Shows No Signs of Slowing Down: Eagles’ Star Tackles Future in Philadelphia

After securing yet another Super Bowl victory, Johnson took to social media to share his excitement and reaffirm his love for Philly. On February 16, 2025, he posted a video from the championship parade, alongside a message that read, "Nothing but love the past 12 years & I’m looking forward to many more years to come – love y’all Philly!” The message resonated deeply with Eagles fans, reinforcing his commitment to the team and his determination to keep contributing to its success.

A six-time Pro Bowler, Johnson has long been a cornerstone of the Eagles’ offensive line, playing a pivotal role in two Super Bowl victories. Even at 35 years old, his skill and technique remain at an elite level, showing no signs of slowing down. In the 2024 season, Johnson's performance was nothing short of stellar. In 15 regular-season games, he allowed only 10 quarterback pressures, the lowest among all qualifying offensive tackles. Even more impressive, he didn’t give up a single sack and only conceded one quarterback hit, further solidifying his status as one of the league's most reliable and dominant linemen.

With two years left on his contract after restructuring in 2023, Johnson’s future in Philly is far from uncertain. The Eagles might even look to add a younger tackle to learn under him, much like they did when Jason Kelce helped Cam Jurgens grow into his role.

Lane Johnson’s journey with the Eagles is far from finished. With his unwavering skill and leadership, the veteran tackle continues to be a key player for Philadelphia, and the road ahead is filled with opportunities to cement his legacy further. As he looks toward the future, there’s no doubt that Johnson is determined to leave a lasting mark on the Eagles and the NFL. His journey is one of resilience, dedication, and a relentless drive to be the best—qualities that will undoubtedly define his future with the Eagles.
