Eagles OT Lane Johnson retires

[StarOfGlory]

Hmm, his dead cap hit right now comes in at a minimum of $25 million and could be more depending on how his bonuses are structured.

Yeah how he got away with it for years I will never know

Literally no one seemed to care, but us.

He didn't let #11 do anything!!

Smart decision.

Playing professional football is far more than just having a job. You have to love the game and have enough dedication to make huge sacrifices in time, family, personal life and health.

It is constant and intense pressure to perform at a certain level and he owes no apology for realizing he just couldn't do it anymore....

.......but i won't miss him......

Nothing but love for him. He's a monster on the right. Likely the best of the generation.

It is hard to have your heart in something that takes you away from family for 14 years.

Eagle or not -- we all gotta give this dude mad respect

The eagles record with him playing vs not playing is 18-29 vs 122-63-1.
It's a considerable step down.

Interesting. I saw the Mike Fisher show at 6 yesterday and he said there is more to the story and then I saw this which shows some conflict. It sounds like there’s some toxicity going on over there and maybe AJ Brown wasn’t the culprit. Or maybe AJ wasn’t the only toxic one. Some Eagles fans on YouTube were making jokes about Jalen being the toxic one and Lane couldn’t handle playing with him anymore. But I highly doubt that. I’m very interested in knowing what is going on over there and I hope we get the whole story some time. But we never get the whole story so I’m not holding my breath. Very interesting 24 hours tho for the Eagles. Couldn’t happen to a nicer team.

Yes!! Anyone down playing this is not facing the facts. They just lost a huge piece. Again it couldn’t happen to a nicer team. I just hope whatever Lane’s mental health issues are he gets healthy.

When you think of elite right tackles, you think about Lane Johnson. Just look at the record when he is out of the lineup. Huge loss for the Eagles
