Gardner Johnson traded

To Houston for guard Kenyon Green

ok, now the defense is really changing. wtf?

[andrewaters]

Remember, they brought in that Lewis Cine kid right at the end of the season. He was a Georgia kid with size. He is 6-2, 200. They would have watched a lot of film on him and know what he can do.

The Vikings drafted him and I think tried to turn him into a corner and it didn't work and then he got hurt.

We aren't in practices so we don't really know what he or Sidney Brown can do. I am on the record for loving Sidney as a ST players but not seeing a fit as a disciplined safety.

I also think they really like Reed Blankenship who will be a free agent next year.

[dawkins20]

Just feel like if they were going to do it, get more than a player that has not been good. I know Stout is a stud.

But player for player, we got fleeced.

I am not high on Sydney Brown at all. The guy plays with passion but is undisciplined.

I think a lot of these moves are thinking ahead to cap space in future years so that they can resign Jalen Carter.

CJGJ might have pissed off someone. He had some moments late in the year where he looked like he was ready to get into it with team mates. There are some really talented S in the draft too

The word on the street is that the Eagles wanted to free up some cap space. they wouldn't have traded CJ if they didn't have faith in Sydney.

they only cleared about 200k this year, but the cleared a good bit next year. I think the Birds like Andre Sam at S. too

I liked CJG each time they had him. He brought swagger and balls to the D. He was in the team twice and they went SB twice. So I really don’t understand moving on.
Having said that I understand Howie staying ahead of the game and making sure there will be money next year and years to come. I was big on Cine coming out of college but is just a guy in the NFL so far. I like Brown but, like others have said, he plays fast but undisciplined.
Finally, I don’t think much of Green. I will be happy to eat those words when Stout gets him to the pro bowl.

We will miss CJ for sure.

Brown does not seem like he can stay healthy and ahs not been much when he played. I hate to even think about it, but does DeJean play safety? Not sure why you pull him after the year he had, but stranger things....

[musicman]

When Frazier was asked about up and coming DBs, he quickly mentioned Sam and I believe Ringo back around SB time

[musicman]

CJGJ was actually cool about the trade

[andrewaters]

I think CJGJ wanted to be paid and we didn’t have the money. This move therefore just made sense.

Nice farewell post. That and the video that mm posted are not the type things I would’ve expected from CJG. I was a fan but these just put him up another notch IMM.
