The Philadelphia Eagles have made a significant trade, sending safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans in exchange for guard Kenyon Green, alongside a pick swap involving sixth and fifth-round selections for the 2026 draft. Green, a former first-round pick, has had a rocky start in his career, missing the entire 2023 season due to injury, but will now have a chance to compete for a starting role in Philadelphia.

This trade not only reshapes the Eagles' defensive backfield but also opens a starting spot for safety, with the likes of Reed Blankenship and emerging talent Sydney Brown in contention. The Eagles' front office is looking to bolster the offensive line while preparing for potential free agency losses. Gardner-Johnson's departure is bittersweet, as he was a key contributor to the Eagles' success, including their Super Bowl run.
