Lane Johnson Reportedly Restructures Eagles Contract After Jason Peters' Raise

Lane Johnson reportedly agreed to restructure his contract in order to create salary-cap room for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the right tackle turned most of his 2020 base salary into a signing bonus and pushed some money into the future to give the Eagles $5 million in cap space this season.

The report comes after the Eagles announced a restructured deal for Jason Peters, who will be playing left tackle after originally re-signing to play right guard.

Vince Taylor, Peters' agent, told NFL Network'sMike Garafolo on Thursday that the nine-time Pro Bowler can earn up to $8 million this season.
