Well, he did it.
Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson bought the lawnmower of his dreams this week.
Dickerson, who signed a massive four-year extension worth up to $87 million with $50 million guaranteed earlier this month, was asked by reporters what his next big purchase would be.
“I don’t know. I may go get a new lawnmower,” Dickerson said. “Kinda something I’ve been looking into.”
Many thought it was funny and possibly a joke, but it wasn’t.
Dickerson showed off his new red sitting lawnmower on Wednesday.
“I got me a mower,” he said while riding it in an Instagram video.
He also posted a photo posing on his lawnmower.

Dickerson’s lawnmower is a Gravely Pro-Turn 560 Kawasaki, a commercial-grade, zero-turn mower for professionals that costs $15,249.
His mower won’t go to waste considering he has a bunch of land to use it on and takes a lot of pride in his lawn work.

During a recent appearance on CBS Sports Radio’s “The Jim Rome Show,” Dickerson explained why he enjoys mowing so much over having someone else do it for him.
“It’s just a little time to yourself,” Dickerson said. “You get out there, you can throw some headphones in, you can listen to music, listen to a podcast, audiobook, really whatever you want to do, and it’s just relaxing.
“I used to, growing up, I’d mow yards in the neighborhood, and that was push-mowing. You get on a zero-turn lawnmower, I can just sit there, use the handles, mow a couple of acres in a couple of hours and it’s really just peace, quiet, being outside, being in the sun, nice fresh air.”
Now we’ll know when Dickerson shows up to summer workouts and is all tan … it won’t be from a summer vacation in the Bahamas.
Happy mowing, Dickerson.
