Veteran Offensive Lineman Joins Jaguars in Surprise Move

In a surprising move, veteran offensive lineman Johnson has signed a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old spent the past two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, starting 6 games for the team in 2024. Prior to that, he had stints with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Originally an undrafted free agent, Johnson has carved out a solid NFL career, providing versatility and depth to the teams he's played for. He has experience at both tackle and guard positions, as well as on special teams units. With the Eagles, he primarily served as a swing tackle behind veterans Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata.

The Jaguars are likely hoping Johnson can bring that same level of versatility and experience to their offensive line. With the team dealing with some injury concerns, particularly along the interior, Johnson's addition could prove crucial in the upcoming season.
