45 pages talking about this pick and now no one gives a shtein.
LMAO, seriously.
I like it enough. It's more relief that they didn't do something completely embarrassing than joy, but good enough.
i heard something about him being a qb at one time...anyone know anything about this?
Not terribly excited.
I wanted a stud defensive guy.
Silver lining is that the OL is now Peters-Mathis-Kelce-Herremans-Johnson
Was a QB in HS, moved to TE at Oklahoma and then OT.

No sir...that's MY silver lining because I wanted no OT
I'm fine with the pick. They needed an OT and this draft is deep in OTs. They couldn't have traded down and still got him. He fits Kelly's system and the O line is set.
He was pretty much the consensus best player on the board, and anyone who thought the team was fine on the OL was fooling themselves. Give those facts I can't complain at all but yeah offensive tackles are not exciting.
Didn't try to be the smartest guys in the room. :yay

Agree with this. I don't "love" the pick like Rome (he just loves it not being Manuel I think) but I think that's because the Eagles have so many needs that it was going to be hard to love any pick at that position. It's not like OT was their clear cut biggest need and they got the best OT on the board. That you could feel really excited about. But they need corner help and as soon as the Jets grabbed Milliner I'm sitting there wondering "Oh, maybe they should have took him instead." Same goes for a couple of the D-lineman who went during the next 10 picks. There's just so many holes that now I'm just wondering if the Eagles filled the right hole with the right guy.
Not excited about the pick but it means fireman is riding the bench again, so there's that. At least there's a few guys that fell to #35 that we didn't think would be there, so it's not a total loss.

Really? That's his tweet? Now I hate him.
its not jon harris or fireman level bad....so theres that
fact is they needed help along the offensive line. he seems like a fit for the chipper. will he be good? i dont know. you dont know. lets find out.
I like the pick given what was available and his upside. They are not going anywhere for at least a couple of years anyway so it is a good rebuilding move. Since Chip's system seems like it will be putting the QB in harms way and the QB is the most important position, I think OT becomes the second most important position.

except chippers system is quick drops get the ball out and move on...mixed in with some read option
this kind of offense devalues the OT position imo...which is why i didnt think one of the tackles was the best way to go at 4

doesnt devalue it at all when chipper loves running bubble and jailbreak screens
and since mayock is describing this kid as the most freakish OT hes ever seen in his life....ill go with his read on this all day and say it was a solid pick.
you dont draft a guy at number four because he will be a good blocker on a few bubble screens a game
nonetheless you are correct....a solid pick is exactly what it is
id just rather people say hes a freak offensive tackle than say hes a freak athlete who played quarterback four years ago....you never hear how hes going to be a stud offensive lineman...just that he ran a great 40 time in indy and its a cool story that he went from wr to qb to ol
At least he didn't go from fireman to OL.

QuoteNEW YORK -- One of Lane Johnson's most challenging assignments during his rookie season as a Philadelphia Eagles tackle will be to block New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. But it won't be the first time he's been on the same field as the Big Blue pass rusher. Shortly after being drafted by the Eagles with the No. 4 pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night, Johnson told a story about the first time he saw Pierre-Paul.
Johnson was a backup quarterback at Kilgore Junior College in Texas, and he says his first game in 2008 was against Fort Scott, where Pierre-Paul was playing that season.
"Nobody had ever heard of him," Johnson said. "I remember seeing there was this 6-foot-6, 280-pound defensive lineman nobody had ever heard of. But when he ran out on the field and did a backflip, I think everybody kind of knew what he was about."
Johnson didn't seem intimidated about the idea of trying to block Pierre-Paul at the NFL level, offering a technical, chalkboard answer when asked about the ways in which he plans to do it. He also said he'd been hoping to be the Eagles' pick after his pre-draft discussions with new Eagles coach Chip Kelly. He worried for a moment when the Miami Dolphins traded up to No. 3 that he might be headed there instead, but he said he was happy when Miami took Dion Jordan because he'd "had such a good vibe" with Kelly and the Eagles.
QuoteEvan Mathis currently wears No. 69 for the Eagles, the same number Johnson wore at Oklahoma.
All of Northeast Philadelphia is now lamenting the fact they'll never get the opportunity to purchase a No. 69 Johnson jersey.
QuoteAt the 2013 NFL Draft, the world was introduced to Lane Johnson's wife Chelsea Johnson who has a crack at being the 2013 Lauren Tannehill. The couple was married on January 6, 2013 at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club in front of family and friends. Philadelphia will probably serve as a bit of a culture shock for the newlyweds traveling from Oklahoma to a city getting impatient with a bit of a losing streak. Chelsea is only a Junior at OU, so it remains to be seen where she will be in the fall.
Chelsea Johnson is an athlete in her own right, as a high jumper and hurdler on the Sooner's Track & Field team. Her father, John Goodman, also played football at Oklahoma before playing five years in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Johnson being signed is hardly a story worth caring about. The new CBA makes rookie holdouts 99% pointless. And it's been a while since the Eagles had much trouble with rookie holdouts even under the old system.
its not end of the world news but when a top 5 overall pick who is relatively new at his position potentially could miss some of camp it matters
well matters to me anyway

this has nothing to do with prioritizing...you have to remember howie learned under banners philosophy of trying to lock up young players before they are close to maximizing their potential...and that's exactly what hes doing now...doesn't mean they wont sign cox but hes already a top player at his position in the nfl....lane johnson is a middling tackle and ertz has never been a full time starter...completely different scenarios
5 yr, 63 mil
most guaranteed money of any tackle in the nfl....and by over five million bucks
but his AAV is around 10th i think
seems high to me for a guy who hasn't distinguished himself at RT much less LT where hes gonna move....obviously they are rolling the dice and banking on him getting much better
Quote from: Sgt PSN on January 29, 2016, 11:03:43 AM

$35.5 mil guaranteed
That's a lot of money. I like Johnson more than most, after this season when Peters can no longer goes he becomes the LT. Line is the biggest priority on the team.
I'm fine with Peters this season, you draft a Tackle that you play as a guard this year, sign a guard, and the line is decent.
Peters has already said that he expects to eventually end up at LG. Hopefully he realizes that the time is now, so they can move him and restructure.
peters has said multiple times since the season ended that he was the RT next year...I think his exact quote was "who do they have that's better"
Is Lane gonna rip the fans as he's signing the contract?
Romeydamus up in this bitch.
Lol @ Howie following the Banner playbook word for word.
Jesus...
next ...
Had to be done, 91 is up next. The Johnson contract will seem less absurd as more OTs sign over the next few years. The cap is exploding. I'm sure they will try to get something done with Jenkins too but who knows if he takes the bait.
It's not even all that absurd considering what these guys are getting paid and it pales in comparison to what Lurie pockets.
The whole system is a grotesquery.
even less so when you see that they would have had to pay him 14.2 mil next year...so that 35.5 really isn't 35.5
Probably smart to get the deal done before David Bakhtiari's new deal, too.
Also the way this thing has been structured, it's possible that his 2016 cap hit has decreased, I'm waiting for the breakdown. People are saying it extends by 5 years but it's actually $63 over 6 years since he had a year left and the new deal is replacing the old one. He's in the top five OTs for guaranteed money but not the highest.

Only four more games; I forgot we'd get him back just in time for our playoff run.

Hope he gets booed loudly. I will be participating
Stoutland's done a magnificent job with what he's had to work with. 5 different RTs. A RG with mental problems (I'm not mocking BB just telling it like it is), Kelce and his farg ups, a rotating LG situation, and captain false start at LT.
Agreed.
I really would like to see Kelce replaced but that's low on the priority list unless they dealt him and kept Wisniewski
I'll be in the minority, but so be it. I'm all in on Team Lane. I think PED bans are a joke to begin with. The 4 major sports freaked after the whole MLB debacle and went way overboard with the bans, and the MLB probably would have let it go if Bonds, Sosa, etc weren't so flamboyant about it. There are some PEDs that I think should be banned, but sports went way overboard with the "masking agents" and all of that garbage. Some PEDs actually promote healing and help the body recover from the week to week grind and physicality of the NFL, when not abused and administered correctly.
Lane Johnson was suspended for peptide. The whole thing is a joke, and just so archaic and reactionary. And the funny thing is, no one cares about PEDs. Especially the fans. They really only care when some team that beats theirs in a playoff game has a player who gets busted for PEDs, but it's really then or only then because they are butt hurt about losing and want to make excuses rather than blame their own team for ineptitude. Sure, some people like to front like they care to put on some fraudulent act of nobility, but the fact is, everyone loved watching Bonds and Sosa smash HRs out of the park, and you had to be an idiot to not think there were some PEDs behind it. Everyone knew, no one cared until it became public.
Lane was a dope for breaking a rule that got him suspended and hurt the team, but in the bigger picture, the NFL is to blame with a banned list of substances the size of the constitution. Peptide got him suspended for 10 games. Peptide. Meanwhile, beat the shtein out of a woman and it's all good, come back in a game or two.
I agree for the most part.
But whether a rule is dumb or not it's still a rule. And this is his second suspension. He's not the brightest bulb and then he goes deeper and sues people.
It's like weed; I think it should be legalized but if the league says no dope then no dope.
I definitely agree with that, but at the same time if the NFL wasn't ridiculous then it wouldn't be a problem. I blame both the NFL and Lane, but it's hard for me to be totally outraged by him for breaking a stupid rule. Am I disappointed? Yeah, but not infuriated.
farg a peptide I don't give a farg if Pepsi was a banned substance don't drink the shtein you dumb redneck
I'll even give an ignorant pass on one positive....but you lose all benefit of doubt when you get a second one
that said I don't want him cut or anything...they have enough holes to fill in the next few years without needling two tackles

He's suing the NFL & NFLPA.
http://www.thescore.com/news/1201802
Suing your own union is, um, interesting.
two time druggie is suing people....precious
I wonder is Lane is one of those guys who likes to sue people. You been around someone like that? Terrible bores, all of them.
Yes. One of the cops in squaw's department is like that. I think I've known him for like 3 years now and during that time he's had at least a half dozen various lawsuits...including 1 against his own union. He's a pos cop and an even bigger pos person.
One one hand, he's got a point that the union isn't giving him accurate info regarding supplements. On the other hand, maybe stop taking shtein if you don't know what it is.
Yep.
It's always someone else's fault!
I actually agree with his stance. If the players association isn't doing its due diligence with respect to supplements or isn't representing his interests, then he's perfectly within his right to sue their asses.
Unions aren't infallible and let's face it... they're in bed with the NFL in ways that should make the rank & file more than a little suspicious of their motives.
I can see the union wavering when guys are popped for beating the shtein out of their old ladies or whatever, or even when the members are doing illicit drugs like heroin or coke, but these are supposed to be performance enhancers that are legal and they're still getting suspended.
The hypocrisy in Goodell's NFL is staggering and the union is complicit in all of it. It sold its membership down the river time and again and maybe Johnson going after them isn't such a bad thing after all.
PS: I agree he's a dumb Okie and he has to be responsible for what he ingests, but if he's taking shtein that is supposed to be approved only to find out later that it isn't, that's not really his fault.
what he took (twice) is not approved by the union or the league....and the union isnt a babysitter for what you ingest....so unless the union slipped him a peptide mickey this is just more excuses

Sources: The #Eagles have agreed to a four-year, $72 million extension with right tackle Lane Johnson that includes $54.595 guaranteed. It is the largest contract for an NFL offensive lineman in history on a per-year and guarantee basis.
Jesus...
No complaints. He's one of the best RTs in the league. He excels at pass blocking and run blocking.
OK with this. He's great, still on the right side of 30, and keeps Brooks from puking all over the field. Offense looks like shtein without him. Barring career altering injury, this pricetag was gonna just keep going up.
He's worth every cent. My reaction was just one of awe. $72M for a guy that doesn't even touch the ball. Wow.
At least they didn't pay that much to a receiver who also won't touch the ball.

QuotePHILADELPHIA -- Eagles standout offensive tackle Lane Johnson reworked his contract to add $8 million over the next two years and an additional $30 million in guarantees, his agent, Ken Sarnoff, told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Johnson also added one year at $25 million to the deal and is now under contract through the 2027 season.
He will earn $48 million over the next two years, including $40 million guaranteed.
Johnson, 34, has been named to six Pro Bowls, including in each of the past three seasons, and has twice been named first-team All-Pro.
