Reports: Eagles Re-Sign Ot Fred Johnson
Fred Johnson, a key backup with 14 starts in two seasons, returns to provide depth behind starters Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata for the Eagles' 2026 offensive line.
- On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Eagles re-signed offensive lineman Fred Johnson to a one-year deal, securing their primary swing tackle for the 2026 season.
- Johnson has been a vital backup, making 14 starts over the last two seasons and logging 1,107 offensive snaps while providing insurance behind starters Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata.
- During the 2025 season, Johnson played 626 offensive snaps, accounting for 59% of the team's total, after Lane Johnson missed time with a Lisfranc injury.
- Following Brett Toth's departure to the 49ers, the Eagles hired Chris Kuper as offensive line coach, replacing Jeff Stoutland under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.
- While the Eagles return their entire starting offensive line in 2026, the front office may still target a high-end tackle in the draft as a long-term successor to Lane Johnson.
