2026 Eagles Thread

I hope he's ok. Crushing blow. I don't have to regurgitate the Eagles record with and without him, as Eagles fans are far too familiar.

The betting line immediately moved from -6.5 to -7.5 for Jax. I can't overstate what a big move this is for one player. Through the key number of 7.

Almost every draft pick this year needs to be OLine. They got hollowed out in a hurry.

Damn. He was an all-timer. And to think he was the 3rd tackle drafted in his class.

Great player--best of luck to him
This seems like a "for the family" retirement more than anything--hopefully all is well with them

I disagree I think Lane is fighting major demons

I disagree I think Lane is fighting major demons

Either way I hope the best for him
Seemed as though the focus in his comments was his family but maybe it's about the family helping him

Eagles All-Pro Lane Johnson retires, ending 14-season NFL career

Eagles two-time All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson announced his retirement Tuesday, ending a 14-year career spent entirely in Philadelphia.

www.espn.com

The following may hint at what Lane Johnson is facing now.

“Johnson also became one of the top mental health advocates in sports during his storied run in Philadelphia. He has been open about his dealings with anxiety and depression, which date back to 2008 when he was a college freshman.

He missed three games during the 2021 season while suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms after attempting to taper off an antidepressant and dealing with the physical and mental toll of an ankle injury that did not allow him to play up to his perfectionist standards.”

Unfortunately I think you are correct. I hope he can get right now. He is a true warrior and Eagle great. Universally beloved in the city of Philadelphia.

Attaboy, Lane Johnson. It’s hard to imagine the mental stress of his (former) occupation.

well you wont have Cam Jurgens to kick around any more. Traded for a warm cup of Coffee.....

Eagles trade Cam Jurgens to Ravens

Baltimore has acquired the two-time Pro Bowler to help solve its injury issues along the offensive line.

forgot he is in self reported concussion protocol

I did crack up, and also agreed, at Jimmy Kempski's response when about the Jurgens' trade:

probably a 2 time pro bowler with great feet that needs to be a center not OG. You cant teach those feet.

I've been a strong proponent of this concept for a while, unless you have a HOF level QB. I'm not sure how difficult it is to move on from the Hurts contract (probably quite), but it is something the Eagles should consider.

Don't think they could really do anything until after next season...but at that point, it becomes realistic.

I kind of figured. Unless Hurts drastically improves, making a move after 2027 seems like a no-brainer. That would probably mean taking a QB in the next draft.

No offense, but Chad's response is really dumb. There is no correlation to quality of play and the ability to be a coach/GM/analyst, etc. On the other hand we have Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Matt Millen, Magic, Isiah Thomas.....

Not that I have any idea what Howie is thinking but if he does want to move up in next year's draft to get a QB, the Eagles now have two first rounders and two second rounders in 2028. It'll be good capital for a move up. Of course, it remains to be seen how big of a jump will be needed. If this year is a wash out, maybe they won't have to move up very far.
