C.J. Gardner-Johnson claps back at Vic Fangio’s comment that Eagles traded DB for salary cap reasons - The Athletic
Texans defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson took to social media Wednesday to respond to a comment his former coach and current Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio made regarding Philadelphia’s decision to trade Gardner-Johnson to Houston. The Eagles received offensive guard Kenyon Green and a 2026 fifth-round selection in the exchange, while the Texans also added a 2026 sixth-round pick. When asked about the trade during OTAs on Tuesday, Fangio called it “a salary cap thing.” “Howie (Roseman, Eagles GM) made that decision. I was fine with it,” he added. Gardner-Johnson reposted a graphic featuring the quote to his Instagram story and added text that read, “Just don’t do them young guys like y’all did me.” He also included a 100 emoji and a flexed bicep emoji.
The CJGJ and Eagles Offseason Rollercoaster Ride is Playing Out Again - Crossing Broad
CJGJ wasn’t afraid to make his thoughts known after he was traded, going on IG live and saying “people showing their true colors,” which is funny because hours later he seemed to understand this was just a salary thing, saying while live-streaming that “It was no bad blood.. Them young guys just gotta get paid down there.” I guess Fangio’s comments didn’t sit well with him and it’ll unravel over the course of next season like it typically does when CJGJ is traded or not re-signed. He argued online with Lions fans last year after he signed back in Philly. This is just the CJGJ playbook. You can’t take the junkyard dog out of the boneyard. That chip on his shoulder is what gives him that edge on the field and he’s backed it up everywhere he’s went. You can’t deny now that CJGJ has spent two years on the Birds, in two different schemes, and on two top-5 defenses that he can’t talk his shit because he backs it up. He helped us win a Super Bowl so he can have whatever outbursts he wants online especially when he inevitably comes back in a year or two.
