Lane Johnson, the standout right tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, announced that he is likely to retire after the 2026 NFL season. Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Johnson revealed that personal responsibilities are beginning to take precedence over football, prompting him to share his retirement plans publicly to find peace of mind.

Looking like this is probably, potentially going to be, probably my last year, just because I had gotten to that point of those priorities away from football are starting to merge,

The 13-year veteran has an impressive resume, including:

• Six Pro Bowl selections
• Two All-Pro First Team honors
• Three All-Pro Second Team honors
• Two Super Bowl championships with the Eagles in 2017 and 2024

Even at age 36, Johnson remains one of the top offensive linemen in the league. He ranked ninth in a recent CBS Sports poll and third in ESPN's annual evaluation by league executives and coaches. His absence on the field has proven detrimental to the Eagles' offensive efficiency, with a significant drop in expected points added (EPA) per play when he is sidelined.

Johnson's career statistics show a stark contrast in team performance:

• With Johnson on the field: Average EPA per play of 0.04
• With Johnson off the field: Average EPA per play of -0.05

Given his accolades, many consider him a potential future Hall of Famer. If he can deliver another strong season, his chances for induction will only increase.
