C.J. Gardner-Johnson Fantasy

Free-agent safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal with the Lions. Philly has lost some big names already this offseason, as T.J. Edwards, Marcus Epps, Isaac Seumalo, Miles Sanders, and Javon Hargrave are now on new teams. With Detroit making some significant moves of late, Gardner-Johnson, who had 67 total tackles, eight passes defensed, six picks, and a sack last season, will help bolster a Lions defense that could be more productive in 2023-24.

The Denver Broncos are among the teams with interest in Philadelphia Eagles free-agent defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, according to a league source. Gardner-Johnson produced a career-high 67 tackles (61 solo), one sack, five tackles for loss, a career-high six interceptions and eight passes defensed in 12 starts in 2022 in his first year with the Eagles. The 25-year-old former fourth-round selection by the New Orleans Saints in 2019 was on the IDP radar as a streamer because of his playmaking abilities in Philly's stingy defense. It remains to be seen if he can post similar numbers elsewhere if he departs Philadelphia in free agency.

Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) and defensive end Robert Quinn (knee) has been officially activated from the injured reserve. Both defenders are expected to suit up for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. This is great news for the Eagles who have been without Gardner-Johnson since early December. Both players should certainly boost this defensive unit heading into the postseason. The Eagles defense is looking like a fantastic play against the Giants who are resting a majority of their starters.
