Eagles sign offensive tackle Fred Johnson to a two-year deal

Fred Johnson will likely be the backup left tackle for Philadelphia and the #Eagles just re-signed the offensive tackle to a two-year deal

Hours after Howie Roseman tore up his contract, Fred Johnson signed a new two-year deal to be the primary backup to left tackle, Jordan Mailata.

Johnson had his contract terminated on Wednesday, and now we know that was simply the precursor to Johnson being around long-term after a promising summer.

Johnson was signed to the practice squad last November and returned on a reserve/futures deal this offseason.

Now, after impressing in training camp, Johnson is a part of Philadelphia’s long-term roster goals.
