Daily News | Thumbs up or down: Eagles beat reporters weigh in on the Chauncey Gardner-Johnson trade
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson will have his hands full learning a new position and a new defense with less than two weeks before the Eagles’ season opener, but it’s hard to argue against the improvement he’ll make to the secondary.
It’s easy to see the 5-foot-11, 210-pound defensive back matched up against bigger slot receivers or tight ends in man coverage, especially on third downs. If the Eagles drop Gardner-Johnson into the box, he and swift-footed slot corner Avonte Maddox give Gannon the matchup flexibility most defensive coordinators are looking for. Gardner-Johnson has also developed a reputation as an instigator during his three-year career and seems like a good fit for the city.
because extension talks broke down between the two sides. This trade will eventually be colored by whether Gardner-Johnson is a one-year rental or a long-term chess piece for the Eagles, but at first blush there’s reason to be optimistic about the addition of the feisty defensive back.
