Lane Johnson announced Tuesday that he is retiring, ending a 14-season NFL career spent entirely with the Philadelphia Eagles. Johnson finished as a two-time All-Pro right tackle and is a two-time Super Bowl champion. The decision came four games into his 14th season; Johnson said he had contemplated retirement for months and took a brief leave from training camp earlier to tend to personal issues. Eagles pod hosts Dave Zangaro and Reuben Frank reviewed Johnson’s legacy and the Hall of Fame debate in the wake of the announcement. The retirement immediately raises questions about who will replace Johnson at right tackle and compounds concerns about the Eagles’ growing injury problems. That issue is particularly pressing with the team preparing for an upcoming London matchup and an offense already described as struggling to reach its potential.
