Overview

  • 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, a Super Bowl-winning safety with six interceptions last season, bolsters a Texans secondary already known for its strong ball-hawking abilities.
  • Kenyon Green, a 2022 first-round pick, struggled with injuries and performance in Houston but will now compete for a role on the Eagles' offensive line.
  • The trade helps the Eagles address salary cap concerns and positions them to focus on extensions for key players in the near future.
  • Gardner-Johnson’s departure continues a defensive overhaul for the Eagles, who have lost several key players this offseason.
