A star in the Philadelphia Eagles team, winner of the Super Bowl, is still staggering after a shocking exchange took him out of the team.
On Tuesday, the Eagles decided to transfer CJ Gardner-Johnson to the defensive of a sixth round of 2026 to the Houston Texans in exchange for guard Kenyon Green and a selection of fifth round of 2026.
The news occurred after Gardner-Johnson openly declared that he should be considered a leader within defensive high school only a few days earlier on social networks.
The security of the 27 years was carried out in a live broadcast that was revasted to X, previously Twitter, and revealed its shock for movement.
“I'm not going to lie, I thought it was April Fool's,” he said as I added that I thought “they gave me” like a joke.
However, once the reality of the measure was established, Gardner-Johnson insisted that there was no “bad blood” with the organization.
The former defensive star of the Eagles, CJ Gardner-Johnson, thought that the news of her trade was a joke
Gardner-Johnson was transferred to the Houston Texans in exchange for a liner and a choice
“Love was not lost, it wasn't bad blood … Young people just have to pay there,” he said.
It seemed that the old eagle, who also played in the Saints and the New Orleans Detroit lions, may have been aware that the organization could move it.
He said he asked the Eagles to exchange him in a place where “he can play winning football” and did not specify any destination.
“I didn't ask for a specific place,” he said as he added: “I want to play winning football.” I woke up the next day and the boom there is, we in Houston.
Gardner-Johnson said that when the team revealed its intentions to move it, the phone call informed him “was incredible” and that the younger players of the team need to obtain better contracts. I aged, I understand. There was no bad blood, “he added.
When the news of the exchange took place, Swifties claimed the movement as a victory after Gardner-Johnson was seen wearing a sweatshirt in the super bowl parade of Philadelphia that said 'Swifties can lit by balls'.
'The Eagles probably exchanged CJ Gardner-Johnson in part due to Taylor Swift's thing. Not going here, '' said a swiftie.
Another published: “Taylor Swift somehow worked his magic so that CJ Gardner-Johnson was broadcast out of philadelphia after that parade shirt.”
Gardner-Johnson (L) was a key taxpayer in the winning season of the Super Bowl of Philadelphia
Actually, it is likely that the necessary eagles to move from the cover of $ 3.7 million of Gardner-Johnson hit the list to sign some players again and reward others for the first-level Super Bowl performances.
But the moment is a bit strange, considering the recent pun that Gardner-Johnson made social networks after a re-perceived by a former teammate.
In a recent episode of Podcast, the former security of the Eagles, Darius Slay, was asked about who could assume the position of leader within defensive high school.
Slay pointed to Reed Blankenship as a natural successor in the world of defense of passes, saying: 'Reed was already around many veterans before, I am sure I could lead that group in the right way. That is the one who would lead the group if I'm not in the building … He is a great leader. ''
That rubbed Gardner -Johnson in the wrong way, especially considering that he has been in the league more time than Blankenship.
A ticted gardner-Johnson let his feelings know each other in a series of tweets: “You would think that feelings would be mutual after a great season, but …… Aye Twin maintains that solid shit,” he published along with a Kodak Black rapper gif.
He followed that tweet with a publication that said: 'This is nothing about our team … trust! We are good.
The next morning, he tweeted once again, saying: “It is not a blockade just keeping it real.”
Interestingly, the trade occurred after the former Eagles star, Darius Slay, suggested that a different member of the Philadelphia high school could take a step forward and become a leader in that unit
Those words rubbed Gardner-Johnson in the wrong way, with the star applauding on Twitter
Gardner-Johnson also published some thoughts that were later eliminated from his Twitter account.
“The last veterinarian who replaced me helped everyone to get to the door at the wildcard, recalls that!”, He published Thursday.
He also published: 'The presence of a veterinarian is always necessary, they do not misunderstand me! But brother, what “veterinarian” is needed when young people can defend themselves (Q & Coop) (Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper leave) and have a crazy duo with Reed and me? And the support cast ((Kelee) Ringo, Zay (Isaiah Rodgers), Andre Sam, Eli (Ricks), Sydney (Brown), Tristin (McCollum)) Stay with the youth you ask me!
Slay gave his own answer: 'We just won a Super Bowl together. I have no problem or hate towards the bra.
'Reed is in our leadership council, which is (why) I said what I said. I would expect it to be the next boy. It's nothing more than love of me if you really know me … Tallso had a blessing day #Worldchamps. “
The Eagles have recently gone from a series of pieces of their Super Bowl winning team.
In addition to Gardner-Johnson's office and Slay's cut, the Eagles lost Isaiah Rodgers, Josh Sweat, Milton Williams and Oren Burks in free agency.
