Controversial Eagles Super Bowl winner CJ Gardner-Johnson hits out at the team on Instagram after getting traded

Eagles Super Bowl winner CJ Gardner-Johnson took a sH๏τ at his former franchise on Monday, as he revealed he had seen the ‘true colors’ of some following his trade to the Texans.

The defensive back, who who was a starter for Philly last year as they went on to win Super Bowl LIX, was sent to the Texans on March 11 along with a 2026 sixth-round pick, in exchange for guard Kenyon Green and a 2026 fifth-round pick.

Roughly a month later, Gardner-Johnson took to his Instagram story to speak about how he – and others – were handling the move. 

‘People showed me their true colors when I got traded, s***,’ he said in a video. ‘That’s why you ain’t heard or seen from me.’

Gardner-Johnson did post a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to the Eagles last month after he was traded, saying Philadelphia had ‘been a home’ to him.

‘This decision wasn’t mine, but I walk away proud of what we built together,’ he said.
