Daily News | Former Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson reaches agreement with the Detroit Lions for one-year, $8-million contract
C.J. Gardner-Johnson reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions on Sunday night, leaving theThe 25-year-old safety will reportedly make $8 million next season on what essentially serves as a prove-it deal despite being one of the most impactful players at his position with the Eagles last year. Gardner-Johnson’s six interceptions were tied for first in the NFL even though he played in just 12 games because of a lacerated kidney suffered mid-season.
No such market formed for Gardner-Johnson last week, though. The Eagles made a multi-year offer to Gardner-Johnson early in the week, but the safety was seeking a better deal. While Gardner-Johnson surveyed the market, the Eagles re-signed All-Pro cornerback James Bradberry to a three-year, $38 million contract and signed veteran corner Darius Slay to a two-year extension as well.
According to sources familiar with the team’s negotiations, the Eagles offered Gardner-Johnson a multi-year deal at the start of free agency that was worth more than what he ultimately signed for with the Lions. However, Gardner-Johnson was seeking to be paid an annual average in salary just shy of Bates. The Eagles’ initial offer wasn’t there, and he hoped ensuing offers would be as the Eagles shifted their focus elsewhere.
