Former Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson delivered an unclear message on his Instagram story on Monday.
Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is one of the most vocal NFL players on social media. Gardner-Johnson, though, has been surprisingly quiet on his trade from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Houston Texans this offseason.
At least he was until Monday when Gardner-Johnson shared a reaction to the trade in his Instagram story.
“People showed me their true colors when I got traded, [expletive],” the safety said, via YouTuber: Eagle AL. “That’s why you ain’t heard or seen from me.”

The short message wasn’t so much a response to the trade but a response to the reaction of the deal. But it’s unclear whether the safety was addressing reaction from former teammates, front office personnel, fans or something else.
The Eagles agreed to send Gardner-Johnson to the Texans on March 11. In return, Philadelphia received offensive lineman Kenyon Green. The Eagles and Texans also agreed to swap 2026 Day 3 selections in the trade.
