Eagles Trade Gardner-Johnson, Acquire Kenyon Green

The Philadelphia Eagles traded star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans in a move driven by salary cap considerations, acquiring lineman Kenyon Green in return, who thus far has struggled to secure a starting spot. Gardner-Johnson, a key contributor to the Eagles' past successes, has publicly criticized the trade and claimed the Eagles' Super Bowl prospects are worse without him. The decision has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some questioning the football wisdom of the move and others citing the need to address cap space and locker-room dynamics. The Eagles are now looking to develop younger safeties, including recent draft pick Andrew Mukuba. The team is also considering signing free agent pass rusher Matthew Judon to strengthen their defense. Despite ongoing questions at the safety position, the Eagles remain focused on roster improvements as they prepare for training camp.
