Texans' CJ Gardner-Johnson Criticizes Eagles After Trade

C.J. Gardner-Johnson, recently traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Houston Texans, has made headlines with his outspoken criticism of his former team. He boldly claimed during an Instagram Live session that the Eagles "probably won’t see a ring without me," highlighting their defensive struggles after his departure and expressing satisfaction with his new role in Texas. Gardner-Johnson also appeared to subtly disparage Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts by praising Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud as the best in the game. His comments have sparked a polarized reaction, with Eagles fans labeling him as bitter or delusional, while Texans supporters embrace his confidence. Despite these fiery remarks, Gardner-Johnson showed a softer side by posting a Father's Day message shortly after his controversial statements. The trade left him feeling disrespected and betrayed by the Eagles' management, though the team's defensive coordinator cited salary cap constraints as the reason for the move.
