Bills Release Safety Gardner-Johnson After Suspension for Spitting

Bills Release Safety Gardner-Johnson After Suspension for Spitting

The Buffalo Bills released safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, one day after he completed a one-game NFL suspension for spitting.

Gardner-Johnson served the suspension for an incident during the Bills' previous game. The 26-year-old defensive back was acquired by Buffalo in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this season.

The move comes as a surprise given Gardner-Johnson's role in the Bills' secondary. The team did not immediately announce a corresponding roster move.
