In a surprising offseason move, the Houston Texans acquired safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson from the Philadelphia Eagles, parting ways with Kenyon Green, a former first-round pick. The trade, which was unexpected even for Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans, underscores the Eagles' financial strategy as they navigate upcoming contracts for key players. Gardner-Johnson's impressive stats from the previous season, including six interceptions, solidify his role as a vital addition to the Texans' defensive line-up, aiming for a stronger secondary performance in the coming seasons.
