Eagles Legend Hints at Retirement — With One Simple Condition in Midnight Green

In the middle of it all stands Lane Johnson — the iron pillar of Philadelphia’s offensive line for the past 12 seasons. Drafted fourth overall in 2013, Johnson has become one of the most dominant right tackles in NFL history: a 3× First-Team All-Pro, 4× Pro Bowler, two-time Super Bowl champion, and owner of multiple seasons without allowing a sack. His 146 career starts in midnight green have been defined by a rare combination of athleticism, strength, and leadership, making him the heartbeat of an offensive line that has powered both Jalen Hurts’ rise and the Eagles’ championship success.

At 35, Johnson is still playing at an elite level — but he’s also aware of the grind. Speaking on Bussin’ With The Boys, the veteran admitted that a second straight Lombardi Trophy might be the perfect exit. “If we win it all this year, I might be done,” Johnson said. “Football’s been amazing. You get to live the life you worked your whole career for. But if we go back-to-back, that’s the perfect ending. I’ll think it through — I’ve got two years on my deal — but this could be it.”

For now, Johnson’s focus remains fixed on the season ahead. In Philadelphia, he’s more than a tackle — he’s part of the city’s identity. And if the Eagles hoist the Lombardi again, Lane Johnson could walk away not just as a champion, but as a legend who left the game on his own terms, with midnight green confetti still clinging to his shoulders.
