Ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory in the 2025 Super Bowl, questions began to swirl about a few of the team’s most important veterans. Retirement rumors had picked up steam in the latter part of the season, and one name many circled was right tackle Lane Johnson.
Fortunately, before Super Bowl LIX even kicked off, Johnson put those rumors to rest by addressing the topic head-on. As NFL.com detailed, Johnson stated he was "definitely" not retiring after the Super Bowl, win or lose.
"I'm definitely not retiring after this game, win or lose," Johnson said. "I'm definitely playing next year. That's really how you take it I guess when you get up in age, is take it one year at a time. But physically, I feel a lot better than I have the past, probably, couple years. I feel really good. For being this late in the year, it's usually not like that. I'm thankful. We've got a good team here to help us with all that."
Considering his strong statement addressing retirement, it's not surprising that Johnson is locked in on preparing for the 2025 NFL season, and his latest offseason workout proved as much.

While it's only mid-July, Johnson looks ready to help the Eagles in their pursuit of back-to-back Super Bowls. Not surprisingly, fans loved seeing the two-time First-Team All-Pro putting in the work.
"This man can rearrange an entire gym by himself! Go Birds!!" said one fan.
"Looks like Optimus Prime in 3 years," added another.
"It’s a bad day to be a weight rack," joked a third fan.
The Eagles rolled past the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes 40-22 in last year's Super Bowl. Now, with much of their roster returning from 2024, they're a popular pick to make another championship run.
