Eagles fans are sitting in complete shock.
Heck, all football fans are.

C.J. Garnder-Johnson is being traded to the Houston Texans in a blockbuster move that is sending offensive guard, Kenyon Green, to the Eagles.
Gardner-Johnson returned to the Eagles last offseason in free agency on a three-year deal. He spent the previous season with the Lions.
In Philly, many fans saw the starting safety as the heart and soul of the Eagles' defense. He brought an energy to that side of the ball that was sorely missing in 2023.

my jaw is still dropped. I don’t initially like the trade, but you have to think that there’s good reason to trade them away again at least that’s what i’m gonna tell myself for now!

CJGJ brought a whole level that was missing to the defensive side of the ball & changed it completely… I’ll always be a fan of the dude & will be rooting for him in Houston.
Still scratching my head a bit, but still have my full trust in Howie https://t.co/0HdhEZOdT3
I just fell to my knees at work
