As the NFL’s legal tampering period of free agency rolled on to its second day on Tuesday, the Houston Texans continued to be active on the trade market. Houston acquired safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and a 2026 sixth-round pick from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for guard Kenyon Green and a 2026 fifth rounder.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson returned to the Philadelphia Eagles and promptly won a Super Bowl to wrap up the 2024 season. Now the outspoken safety is headed elsewhere again. One day ahead of the official start of 2025 NFL free agency, the Eagles are trading the veteran defender to the Houston Texans, CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirms.

The Philadelphia Eagles are trading safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans for guard Kenyon Green and a swap of draft picks, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
