CJ Gardner-Johnson explains Texans’ decision to cut him

C.J. Gardner-Johnson, a safety who was traded to the Texans from the Eagles in March 2025, was cut after just three games due to reported friction and clashes with management. He attributed his release to a confrontation with a “GM’s friend” during training camp, claiming it influenced the decision-makers. After a brief stint on the Ravens’ practice squad, he signed with the Bears for the remainder of the season and later secured a one-year deal with the Bills in March 2026.
