The Eagles just did the UNTHINKABLE but it’s all part of the plan…

The Philadelphia Eagles made a shocking trade, sending CJ Gardner Johnson to the Texans on 2025 NFL free agency day 2, and in Eagles news and NFL news, as much as the Eagles trading CJ Gardner Johnson hurts, it was all part of the Eagles plans.

After hearing the breakdown and the Eagles plans, what are your thoughts on the CJ Gardner-Johnson trade? 🤔

LET'S HIT 600 LIKES!

[reneegolovacha]

I hate this trade sooo CJ was the heart and soul of the defense. I don’t care that he ran his mouth…..we need that. Man I am going to miss him so much 😢

[fernandonarvaez]

CjGj will always be an Eagle no matter what 🦅

[SimonMeshko]

When I heard the news this morning, I could not believe it! He was my favorite player on Defense, I was happy he returned last offseason but sad that he left again. Thank you so much CJGJ, you were awesome, best of luck in Houston!🦅🦅💚💚

[bradleyg]

NGL, wegonna missthisdude.Whoisn'tupset about this loss? Thanksfor pposting CJGJ comments. It does help.

[slyonoa]

That cj trade hurt man. But I trust Howie and his intuition. Time to go get it syd!

[PickleJuiceDuce]

It's a good trade! Obviously there was a scout on the Eagles staff that loved Green in 2022. Also, the biggest mistake Howie made after 2017 SB was trying to keep older players. He's learned that you need to let younger homegrown players fill starting roles (Brown, Ringo, Trotter)

[JosephRix-rg]

I trust howie but I still don’t understand why the Eagles traded CJ

[AaronIngle]

I don't like the trade but the worst part of losing Johnson is what we got in return 🤷

[hectorgomez]

There's a difference between a fan favorite and a team favorite

[AnnetteIwegbune]

I will miss you cj Gardner come back next year we will be glad n miss you❤🎉

[robtucker]

Wasn’t a great feeling when I first saw this trade… but I have had some time to think about it and I ultimately will support and trust Howie.

There must be more to this story.

[Oceanix]

Problem with relying on Sydney Brown and Dean is that they can't seem to stay on the field for too long. That's what worries me.

[Oceanix]

Howie is a mafioso, he forgave CJ but never forgot how he left the first time. Didn't even blink to trade him.

Also, it's funny that everybody is sad now but during the season people was saying he was terrible.

[IndymanPhilly]

Bro I was pissed when I heard the news CJGJ was traded.

[Cali-my]

I’m gonna miss the former Eagles players who helped us win the Super Bowl it means a lot ❤🥹

[sportsking]

We have Lewis Cine a safety from Georgia Bulldogs and he was a 1st round pick

[renegaderader-streaming]

Trading cj was a no smart move we have a young player in brown who got 1 year left on his rookie deal and trading cj saved us 300k this year 6mil next and 21mil in 2027 .. cj was not the future but we need to see if brown is

[nausesbricks]

I was in school and I was pissed when I heard one of the teacher talking about it. Ruined my day.

[activpowr]

Thanks sooo much on your opinion. I feel better.

Fly Eagles Fly❤

Keelee Ringo & Sidney Brown's time to start & show everyone what they bring to the table
