Lane Johnson, the run-blocking, flag-receiving, PED-using, fan-blaming, excuse-making offensive lineman, is about to get paid.
Jeff McLane reports that the Eagles and Johnson are nearing a huge deal. Eliot Shorr-Parks says Johnson will receive more guaranteed money than any other right tackle in the NFL:

Great. But now that Johnson is firmed up, it might be time to talk about Cox.
UPDATE: According to multiple sources, Johnson’s deal is worth a maximum of $63 million with $35 million guaranteed.
