In a pretty surprising move, the Houston Texans are moving on from safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson after just three weeks of the 225 NFL season.

The news comes just one day after Texans’ Jimmie Ward was reinstated from the NFL’s exempt list, but it’s still surprising given the team re-working CJGJ’s contract just three weeks ago.

Houston started 0-3 this season, and through three games, CJGJ has 15 total tackles and a QB hit. Multiple reports suggest there was friction between the secondary player and coaches, with CJGJ even asking for a trade after being unhappy with his role.

CJGJ is a big personality, and there are indications that was part of his issue in Philly (and apparently elsewhere), too — even though Howie Roseman chalked it up to a money issue.

The Eagles drafted safety Andrew Mukuba who had already made an impact in there games in Philadelphia, and DC Vic Fangio really likes Sydney Brown.

Also, it seems like the Eagles aren’t eligible to re-sign CJGJ even if they wanted to do so? If so, you can rule out a return to Philly that might not have been likely to happen anyway.
