Texans' C.J. Gardner-Johnson: 'I feel highly disrespected' by Eagles' trade
Texans' C.J. Gardner-Johnson: 'I feel highly disrespected' by Eagles' trade Show Caption Hide Caption NFL keeps 'Tush Push' in play The NFL won't ban the 'Tush Push', keeping the Eagles' high-success play in the game—for now. C.J. Gardner-Johnson was a key playmaker for the Philadelphia Eagles while helping the team win its second-ever Super Bowl. Despite his strong performance, the Eagles traded him to the Houston Texans during the offseason, marking the fourth consecutive offseason Gardner-Johnson has changed teams. The 27-year-old admitted he didn't take kindly to the deal and believes he has been slighted throughout his career to date. "I feel highly disrespected, but it's a business," Gardner-Johnson told KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson. "Never was an All-Pro or Pro Bowl! Never! Led the league in interceptions. What more do you want?" Gardner-Johnson believes his lack of recognition stems from his playing style and fiery on-field antics. Those were on display often during the 2024 NFL season, as he was fined six times for a total of $101,298, per That included $45,002 in fines from the Eagles' Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders, a game from which he was ejected after multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. STEELERS FAN ON AARON RODGERS: 'I wish he'd have retired already' Still, Gardner-Johnson defended himself and made it clear he doesn't think his reputation is earned. "People say, 'He's a hazard, he's this, he's that.' I never been no hazard, bro," Gardner-Johnson said. "They got no real issues on me. That black ball ain't going to work on me, because I got me a ring. I got me one." While that Super Bowl 59 ring is Gardner-Johnson's greatest NFL accolade to date, it didn't satiate him. Instead, it's fueling him as he joins the Texans, and he believes he can help take DeMeco Ryans' defense to the next level. "I got three more championships in me," Gardner-Johnson said. "I'm probably going to win the next three. I'm going to get me another Super Bowl this year. Just watch."

3 reasons why the Eagles should and shouldn't bring Jaire Alexander to Philadelphia
3 reasons why the Eagles should and shouldn't bring Jaire Alexander to Philadelphia Green Bay released Jaire Alexander on Monday, and we're examining the Pros and Cons of a potential signing ahead of Eagles' training camp Most of us will never know what this feels like, but there are seemingly two destinations for every Philadelphia Eagles star's career. Retire voluntarily. Wait until the game retires you. One or the other will happen. There's no avoiding the outcome. Then again, that isn't just the fate of an Eagle. Every player on every NFL squad thinks about this. Things have changed for Jaire Alexander. The Green Bay Packers have informed him of his release, but it just doesn't feel like he's ready to hang his cleats up. By now, you have all seen enough offseasons to know what will probably happen next. Might Alexander trade one shade of green for another? He was, after all, born in Philadelphia. The arguments for an Eagles acquisition of Jaire Alexander There isn't any reason to stall or waste time here. Alexander's change in employment isn't something someone like Howie Roseman should ignore. There are several reasons why Jaire makes sense for the Eagles and several more why he doesn't. Here are three examples of both, beginning with the 'pros'. The resume speaks for itself. Everyone knows how good Jaire Alexander is. He's a two-time Pro Bowler and a two-time Second-Team All-Pro. There isn't another defensive back on the Eagles' roster with that resume. Heck, there isn't a defender on any of the three levels of Vic Fangio's defense with that resume. This satisfies what might be the Eagles' top remaining need on defense Some might argue that the Eagles still need help at edge rusher, and that might be their most significant need. Others might be inclined to say another veteran should be added to this battle for a starting outside corner. Another veteran presence in the locker room Darius Slay's presence did wonders for Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in year one. Both could still benefit from having a proven vet to lean on. The reasons why the Eagles should ignore Jaire Alexander Age Jaire Alexander doesn't turn 29 years old until February. Why does it seem like he is older than that? Could it be the recent injuries? The 30-year threshold still represents youth. Still, in the NFL, the closer one gets to hugging that line, the more teams begin treating them like they are ready to be sidelined. Stunting the growth of the young defensive backs In keeping with the youth theory, here's where Kelee Ringo comes into the conversation. He enters year three. It seems he has earned the shot to compete for a starter's role. Adding proven veterans to an already-stacked roster is exciting, but at some point, teams have to coach their young guys up. The extensive injury history Jaire Alexander has missed at least ten games in three of the past four Packers regular seasons. He has missed 34 games over that period. Availability is a skill, and as good as this young man has been when on the field, he does his next team no good if he isn't on the field. Final thoughts: Many of these arguments can be made about every veteran free agent, but the goal of every team is to get better. It's doubtful that a healthy Jaire Alexander makes an Eagles team worse, so it's fair to say that he is at least worthy of a phone call. Trust the following statement. Philadelphia's rivals in the NFC East are indeed asking the same questions.
