The Philadelphia Eagles made a surprising move earlier this week. They traded for defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. The Eagles received him from the New Orleans Saints. Contract discussions had broken down between Gardner-Johnson and the Saints. So, the Eagles' front office struck.

On Friday, Gardner-Johnson took a shot at quarterback Jameis Winston and the Saints.

The Eagles are happy to have the emphatic energy from Gardner-Johnson. It seems like he is happy to be in Philadelphia.

He will be an important part of a defense that is very talented. The DB joins the likes of Darius Slay, James Bradberry, and Marcus Epps. The Eagles are ecstatic to have him on their team.
