Former Saints fan favorite is joining forces with one of fans' most hated

Well, this wasn't something on my bingo card. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, former New Orleans Saints Safety CJ Gardner-Johnson is signing to the Chicago Bears active roster. He'll be rejoining his former defensive coordinator and man who traded him in 2022, Dennis Allen.

He'll be reuniting with many former Saints players in the windy city; however, the most notable reunion is the one he'll have with Allen. Back when Gardner-Johnson was stepping onto the field in black and gold, his defensive coordinator then was also Dennis Allen. The seventh-year man has effectively gone back to his roots.
