C.J. Gardner-Johnson has reportedly signed a one-year deal worth $8 million ($6.5 million guaranteed) with the Detroit Lions.
Gardner-Johnson, 25, was acquired by Howie Roseman from the New Orleans Saints right before the start of last season. The defensive back did not disappoint, recording a career-high six interceptions in 12 games. However, the Eagles surprisingly decided to let CJGJ walk even for that cheap price tag.

Contrarily, the Eagles lost some key players like DT Javon Hargrave, LB TJ Edwards, S Marcus Epps, LB Kyzir White, OT Andre Dillard and the aforementioned Slay.
