Former Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has been released by the Buffalo Bills, according to a report published Wednesday. The move comes as a surprise given Gardner-Johnson's previous Pro Bowl-caliber play with the Eagles during the 2024 season.
Gardner-Johnson, who wore No. 8 for Philadelphia, was photographed at Lincoln Financial Field on December 15, 2024, ahead of a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. His departure from Buffalo marks another chapter in a career that has included stops with multiple NFL franchises.
Details regarding the timing and reasoning behind the release were not immediately disclosed. The Bills' decision creates a vacancy in their secondary as they continue to shape their roster for the upcoming season.
