Overview

  • Baltimore and the veteran safety agreed to a mutual parting one week after he joined the practice squad, according to agent Kevin Conner.
  • The Ravens acquired Alohi Gilman the same day Gardner-Johnson signed; Gilman started in Week 6 and made seven tackles, while Gardner-Johnson was not elevated.
  • Gardner-Johnson began 2025 with the Texans and was released after three games, with Houston reports citing locker-room friction and role disputes.
  • The 27-year-old has 18 career interceptions, including six with the Eagles last season during their Super Bowl-winning run.
  • He is now a free agent and eligible to sign with any team.
