Eagles are giving All-Pro RT Lane Johnson a one-year, $33.445 million contract extension, including $30 million guaranteed, per source. He’s now under contract through 2026. Johnson hasn’t surrendered a sack the past two seasons, even playing last postseason with a torn adductor.

Johnson hasn’t allowed a sack or quarterback hit in over two years and logged an All-Pro campaign in 2022 after dominating every pass rusher he faced.
According to Over the Cap’s potential transaction chart, the Eagles entered the 2023 NFL offseason easily able to create $33,243,035 in cap space by making a handful of moves.
With Johnson’s extension and the late-minute contract extension for Darius Slay, Philadelphia has freed up close to $25 million in cap space.
