Eagles Rework Lane Johnson Contract

The Philadelphia Eagles have reworked the contract of right tackle Lane Johnson, which helped them rework the deal for veteran offensive lineman Jason Peters who was seeking a pay raise for switching to left tackle, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

Johnson agreed to convert a large portion of his base salary into signing bonus money, which provided the Eagles over $5 million in cap space, which was utilized for the new deal they gave to Peters.

Johnson signed a four-year, $72 million contract extension back in 2019, which included $54.595 million in guaranteed money, and remains tied to the team through 2025.
