Chauncey Gardner-Johnson trade: Eagles acquire Saints defensive back
Unexpected roster cut down day development: Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles!
The Birds acquired him in a trade with the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday morning. The terms are as follows, per NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
EAGLES RECEIVE: Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, 2025 seventh-round pick
SAINTS RECEIVE: 2023 fifth-round pick, 2024 sixth-round pick (the lower of the Eagles’ two)
Whew. That’s a steal.
News of this trade emerged very shortly after it was reported that the Eagles were cutting Anthony Harris. That move came as a surprise considering Harris was in line to be a starting safety next to Marcus Epps.
