Eagles News: Philadelphia looking for Lane Johnson’s successor

Bleeding Green Nation sports

Key Points:

  • The Philadelphia Eagles are likely to use their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to find a successor to veteran offensive tackle Lane Johnson, with Max Iheanachor from Arizona State emerging as a top target due to his high ceiling and athleticism despite being relatively raw.
  • Iheanachor, who started playing football only four years ago after moving from Nigeria, impressed at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, showcasing his potential as a future starter on the Eagles' offensive line.
  • The Eagles are reportedly preparing to trade wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots on or after June 1, as Brown has requested a trade and the team has already acquired other wide receivers to fill his role.
  • There is ongoing speculation about a possible trade involving edge rusher Jonathan Greenard between the Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings, with the Vikings seeking a premium Day 2 draft pick in return.
  • The Eagles' 2025 first-round pick Jihaad Campbell showed promise as an off-ball linebacker, starting 10 games and demonstrating solid tackling and coverage skills despite some inconsistency in run defense.
