Buffalo Bills head coach has broken silence on the decision to release safety CJ Gardner-Johnson, describing the move as "not easy" according to a report published Thursday. The coaching staff addressed the roster move that saw the veteran defensive back cut from the team.
The announcement came via a report by Dan Coombs for HITC on November 5, 2026. Gardner-Johnson, who joined the Bills during the offseason, had been expected to contribute to Buffalo's secondary. The head coach's comments represent the first public explanation for the surprising transaction.
No further details on the specific reasons behind the release were disclosed in the initial report. The Bills organization has not released an official statement beyond the coach's remarks to media outlets.
