Lane Johnson has signed a new contract with the Philadelphia Eagles that reportedly makes him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.
Drafted fourth overall by the Eagles in 2013, Johnson has gone on to become a two-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl champion.

The Eagles have now moved to secure the 29-year-old's future, handing him a new deal that aims to have him remain with Philadelphia for the next four years.
According to media reports, the contract is worth $72 million, with $54.595 million guaranteed, following on from new deals for Johnson's teammates Brandon Brooks, Jake Elliott and Rick Lovato.
"It's smart," Johnson told the Eagles' official website. "They know what they're doing. Ultimately, they want to build a good football team for a long time and core players is where it starts.

"I'm excited to be with Brandon, Jake and Rick, and there will probably be a few others coming up, too. It's a blessing being around a lot of great people every day. It's a lot of fun."
Johnson missed Week 12 while in the NFL's concussion protocol but is expected to return to face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
