In a move that could calm down retirement talk. Eagles and three-time Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson agreed to a revised two-year deal worth about $36M. He’s due $15.7M in 2026 and can reach $39M with 2027 incentives. The deal comes a week after Dickerson took to Instagram to confirm and announce that he’ll return for his sixth NFL season.
Dickerson’s news comes after Jeff McLane reported that Lane Johnson will return for his 14th NFL season in 2026 after initial rumors of a potential retirement. Johnson, 35, is a future Hall of Famer with a resume that includes six Pro Bowls, two first-team All-Pro nods, and a pair of Super Bowl wins. Johnson’s value is clear: the Eagles were 8-2 with him in the lineup this season, versus 3-4 without him. During his tenure in Philadelphia, the team’s record is 94-41-1 when he plays and 15-27 when he doesn’t.

Hours after it was announced that Johnson would return, McLane reported that Dickerson was expected to return despite reports that he contemplated retirement after an injury-plagued year. Dickerson, 27, played through multiple injuries in his first five NFL seasons, and labored in 2025 after suffering knee and back injuries this past season. The former Florida State and Alabama fell to the second round of the 2021 NFL draft after suffering two torn ACLs and multiple significant ankle injuries in college.
Dickerson has established himself as one of the top left guards in the NFL since joining the Eagles. Dickerson made three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2022 to 2024 and signed a four-year contract extension worth $84 million in 2024, which included $50 million guaranteed.
