Lane Johnson Wants to Play for "Maybe Two More Years"
On Saturday, Lane Johnson spoke at Success TMS, a depression treatment clinic in Cherry Hill, where he mentioned that he wanted to play for “maybe two more years” in the NFL:
Had the pleasure of listening to Lane Johnson speak about mental health at a small event yesterday. Afterward, he volunteered that he wants to play "maybe two more years" after this season.

That would put Lane around 34 when he would retire. Still at an age where he could perform. I mean he’s still the best RT in football. He’s under contract until 2025, where he’d be looking at $16.5 million (non-guaranteed) and the guy just gave up his first sack in two seasons:
Think Lane Johnson just gave up his first sack since 2020. (His guy didn't get the sack, but he beat Lane inside, wrecked the play, and caused the eventual sack.)

It’ll be weird to see in 2-3 years a team with no Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, and Lane. The only major cornerstones still left on the Super Bowl roster. Feels like just yesterday the guy got the entire city free Bud Light.
If we do only have two more years left with the big fella give me another Lane Leap before it’s all said and done:
LANE JOHNSON CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN IM SO HAPPY!!!
Fuck the Pro Bowl, this man is all about the All-Pro!#Eagleshttps://t.co/W0ahv7uVGi
