C.J. Gardner-Johnson Traded to Texans as NFL Free Agency Reshapes Rosters

The Eagles trade their Super Bowl-winning safety to Houston for guard Kenyon Green, while major free agency moves continue across the league.

The Philadelphia Eagles traded safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans in exchange for guard Kenyon Green and a swap of 2026 draft picks.
Gardner-Johnson, known for his ball-hawking skills and fiery personality, joins a Texans secondary that ranked among the league's best in takeaways last season.
The Texans, reshaping their roster, also traded Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders earlier in the week.
The Minnesota Vikings bolstered their offensive and defensive lines, signing guard Will Fries and defensive tackle Jonathan Allen to significant contracts.
Other notable free agency moves include the Colts signing Daniel Jones to compete for the starting quarterback role and the Cowboys retaining DT Osa Odighizuwa on a four-year deal.
