The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LIX with an impressive, well-balanced roster that includes arguably the best offensive line in the NFL.
That offensive line not only allowed them to execute the “Tush Push,” but it also allowed running back Saquon Barkley to run for more than 2,000 yards while giving quarterback Jalen Hurts enough time to go through his progressions downfield.
One of the mainstays on the Eagles’ offensive line is tackle Lane Johnson, who is 34 years old, and there have been rumors that he may retire after earning his second Super Bowl ring.
However, he recently revealed he isn’t thinking that way.
“Nothing but love the past 12 years & I’m looking forward to many more years to come — love y’all Philly!” Johnson wrote on X.

Johnson was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, and by 2017, he had developed into a star.
That was the year he was named All-Pro for the first tme, and he helped the Eagles win their first Vince Lombardi Trophy.
This season, he made his third straight Pro Bowl and the sixth of his career, and Pro Football Focus gave him the seventh-highest grade of all offensive tackles while ranking him sixth in pass-blocking grade.
He did not allow a single sack in 2024.
The NFC is sure to be tougher in 2025, with the Washington Commanders and Green Bay Packers on the rise and the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers sure to be healthier, not to mention very motivated.
That means the Eagles will need to keep their core intact and be very motivated themselves if they are to repeat as world champions.
