Johnson hasn’t allowed a sack or quarterback hit in over two years and logged an All-Pro campaign in 2022 after dominating every pass rusher he faced.
According to Over the Cap’s potential transaction chart, the Eagles entered the 2023 NFL offseason easily able to create $33,243,035 in cap space by making a handful of moves.
With Johnson’s extension and the late-minute contract extension for Darius Slay, Philadelphia has freed up close to $25 million in cap space.
