Texans Release C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday
The Houston Texans released safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday amid "friction behind the scenes with him complaining about his role," league sources told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Gardner-Johnson also wanted to blitz more and even said he wanted to be traded. With the 27-year-old no longer in Houston, the Texans will move forward with M.J. Stewart as the next man up at safety. Gardner-Johnson actually played at least 94 percent of the defensive snaps in the Texans' first three games of the season, but he was still unhappy with his role and wanted out. In his short time in Houston, he racked up 15 tackles (11 solo). The former fourth-round pick in 2019 by the New Orleans Saints should be able to latch on quickly with another team in need of reinforcements in their defensive backfield.
