C.J. Gardner-Johnson was one of the Detroit Lions’ biggest free agent signings this offseason, with even the Lions caught a bit off guard by his availability. Gardner-Johnson has already made an impact as a leader in the team’s revamped secondary, and he’s likely to make just as big of an impact on the field. But how long will that last in Detroit?
Obviously, it’s a bit weird to be talking about Gardner-Johnson’s future without him playing a single snap for Detroit, but the fact of the matter is the Lions signed the Pro Bowl-level talent to a one-year deal, and it’ll be curious to see if he stick around beyond the 2023 season.
