Former Philadelhpia Eagles and current Chicago Bears safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson isn’t as excited to revisit his old team.<\/p>\n
Gardner-Johnson came to Philadelphia via trade after three years with the New Orleans Saints. After the departures of Anthony Harris and Rodney McLeod, Gardner-Johnson was a starter, racking up great numbers with the team and eventually helping lead them to another Super Bowl appearance, where they fell 38-35 to the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Gardner-Johnson was traded to the Lions in the offseason, but it wasn’t long before he was back for a second stint with the Eagles \u2013 this time, ending in a Super Bowl victory. During that season, he had 35 combined tackles and six interceptions for 116 yards and one touchdown. <\/p>\n
He bounced around with a few teams in the 2025 season before sticking with the Bears a little less than a month ago. So far, Gardner-Johnson has accumulated 15 combined tackles and three sacks.<\/p>\n
When he returns to Lincoln Financial Field on Black Friday, however, he’s pretty indifferent about his time in Philly.<\/p>\n
“I got shipped off, so it didn’t last too long,” Gardner-Johnson said. “It’s a new season, time to move on.”<\/p>\n
While the Eagles face a bit of an identity crisis with a struggling offense, the Bears are on fire right now. Both teams sit at 8-3, while the Bears come off of an energetic win against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, the Eagles are fired up following a loss to their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Philadelhpia Eagles and current Chicago Bears safety C.J.
