Jaguars are sending OT Fred Johnson back to Philadelphia in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick, per sources Adam Schefter reports
The Eagles continue to make moves ahead of the 53-man roster deadline, and the team reunited with former swing tackle Fred Johnson. Adam Schefter reports that the Jacksonville Jaguars are trading Johnson back to Philadelphia in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick.
Johnson spent 2022-‘24 with Philadelphia as the primary backup to Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson.
Philadelphia signed Kendall Lamm during free agency, drafted Myles Hinton, and had Matt Pryor and Darian Kinnard operating as backup offensive tackles during the preseason. With the move, Philadelphia has made three trades in the past three weeks, acquiring cornerback Jakorian Bennett for Thomas Bennett.
The Eagles then acquired wide receiver John Metchie III and a 6th from the Texans for TE Harrison Bryant and a 5th round pick. This morning, the Birds acquired quarterback Sam Howell and a 6th-round pick from the Vikings for a 5th and a 7th-round pick.
