Eagles To Keep Lane Johnson On 53-Man Roster This Season

Regularly structuring contracts to include void years and option bonuses for cap purposes, the Eagles have recently processed retirements as post-June 1 cuts to defray costs over a two-year period. That was the case with Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox in 2024, and Lane Johnson ’s retirement is heading in that direction too . Johnson will be positioned to remain an Eagle in 2026, albeit one with no intention of playing any longer. Philadelphia is planning to keep Johnson on its 53-man roster, according to The Athletic’s Zach Berman .
