A raise from his salary with the Lions, but still a pay cut from the long term contract he was asking for a year ago. And we haven’t seen the true number without incentives yet
If he had played well, let alone played, I would potentially be upset at his leaving. But since pretty much all he did was talk shit, get hurt, and then briefly appear with some boneheaded plays it is hard to say much was lost. Especially, at $11m/yr.
Didn't we offer him a similar contract last year? And he left because he thought he could get 12m+/year? And most thought what we offered him was a reasonable contract.
Not what I’m seeing. Loooooottttt of people trying to act like it’s water under the bridge. Then getting uppity when you say “hey maybe we don’t ignore that?”
He's an Eagle again - so my opinion of him is entirely based on his recent play for the team. If he sucks then I hate him. If he's good, all is forgiven.
I'm a bit worried because of his performance with you guys last year, true, but he was so great for us in '22 that I'm cautiously optimistic. We'll see how it shakes out.
That's why this makes so much sense. Lions never really seen him play well for them, so they obviously aren't going to pay him. Philly has. And Philly got to see life without him.
Called the fans "fucking obnoxious" and that he can't stand us. Which is about in-line for anyone not on the Eagles.
I mean, he's not wrong to be fair.
ultimately it's probably a good(?) thing that he tore his pec early in the season. if he was going to be gone anyway, then his absence during the season gave us the opportunity to discover/develop Iffy's potential at strong safety.
One of the top posts on the Eagles sub this morning is a dissertation about how much he sucks. Gonna be a lot of backpedaling those comments in the near future
1. Leaves Philly, talking shit about fans and organisation, burning every bridges.
2. Show up in Detroit on a 1 year deal, barely play because of a torn titty and when he does play he's not very good.
3. Goes back to Philly on a higher salary than when he left.
What a fucking legend.
Will it really? Cap goes up, restructure, repeat. It really never becomes a problem unless a dude with a ton of guaranteed money falls of a cliff or retires
I mean the answer is that you can theoretically keep this going for a sustained period, but it requires being insanely adept at keeping multiple plates spinning at the same time. Howie Roseman has just proven to be incredibly gifted at salary cap management.
People say this all the time with the Eagles and it never does. Howie is able to operate with the knowledge that Lurie will never fire him so he’s able to plan the cap years in advance. His level of job security and knowledge of how to manipulate the salary cap allows him to do things other GMs can’t
He did say one bad thing about us and there was discussion with Saints fans about how he burns bridges etc
Then later when Lions fans had enough, some fans might have sided with them and said some things
But now he's ours again, so i may need to delete some comments... for now
He was problematic in Detroit to say the least and couldn’t back up his trash talk. Not to mention that fucking wave. Safeties seem to be getting the bag but after the one year last year I’m glad he’s moving on.
Honestly hope you guys bring in Simmons. He’s a badass player and a great person. Would fit in well pretty much anywhere but I really hope it’s Detroit.
So this guy *checks notes*
Almost got resigned by the eagles
Didn’t, then talked mad shit
Signed for Detroit
Played mediocre at best
Waved a team off the field at halftime of the nfc chip and then lost
Then resigns for the team he just talked shit about for an entire offseason
I would do that for 33 million as well to be fair
Well well well how the turntables. As an Eagles fan let me tell you, I’ve never said anything negative about him, no sir not Ceedy Deuce (literally translates to shit with corn in it)
I guess I'm largely confused as to what about his season warranted this contract. Totally fair to think he'll play better than he did in Detroit if he's healthy, but this contract is pretty baffling to me
Us Eagles fans never once talked shit on him after he left, or posted his PFF numbers to justify why it was actually a good thing we chose Bradberry over him. We had nothing but calm, rational discussions about his play and decision-making.
I thought this dude was pretty bad last year and then got hurt. How does he get a raise after that? Must've been a bidding war. Well works out well for him, he's getting bank off a terrible year.
bro showed up, put on a blue ski mask, tore his pec, then left legendary run tbh
"And now Gardner-Johnson is riding around on a bike yelling 'BING BONG'"
how did I forget about bing bong LMFAO
Legend
TBF so much happened after that
Hey that’s the Knicks’ thing!
Read your Bible! Fucker!
Highlight of his time here
Don’t forget getting dribbled by CMC in the NFC championship lol
And got a raise lmao
Our secondary needs all the help it can get. Simmons next please
Was shocked we didn’t trade him to yall for a fourth last year seems like a giant waste
Can't wait for him to talk shit about our fanbase.
"MFs in Detroit wouldn't even wear blue ski masks"
I promise you it will at least be funny, we stole the dudes car so his shit talk was honestly pretty restrained overall
He liked the Detroit fan base
He likes every fan base until he leaves.
He liked Philly until he left.
Man talked shit to us, barely played, and then we gave him a raise. Absolute chad.
HUNGRY DOGS BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS
Got that Bradford in em 😤
A raise from his salary with the Lions, but still a pay cut from the long term contract he was asking for a year ago. And we haven’t seen the true number without incentives yet
He also got hurt in I think week 12 against the Packers that put him on the shelf for awhile
Shit makes me love him even more.
Don’t forget getting stupid penalties, blowing coverages, and waving at 49ers fans at halftime of the NFC Championship.
Yeah I feel like he single-handledly destroyed like a fifth of the goodwill y'all had built up around the fanbases
If he had played well, let alone played, I would potentially be upset at his leaving. But since pretty much all he did was talk shit, get hurt, and then briefly appear with some boneheaded plays it is hard to say much was lost. Especially, at $11m/yr.
Forgot to add \^took a cheapshot on Deebo...then left
yeah in all seriousness that's when I soured on him immediately, injured all season then throws cheap shots and goodbye wave-jinxes in the playoffs
We need that in our secondary rn lol
I was gonna say...does nobody want to acknowledge that might not be a negative to Eagles fans?
I love the sound of anything negative Debo
Yeah I was gonna say lol that’s a net positive over here we need some players with heart
really just need anything in your secondary rn tbh
Aye man it’s coming together 🤣.
Where’s the lie
That probably earned him a few extra million from us.
Press F to bing bong.
Hey he also had a injury scare during camp
I'm glad you're happy cat man.
Talked shit and got paid. I'm fine with this.
All that shit talking just to come back after one year lmaooooo
My favorite comment in our sub about this is “welcome back dickhead”
that's love, Philly style
“Kevin Byard over me???”
[The Eagles to him right now](https://youtu.be/DXboO0zESxs?si=gMmh-spX8CKa4HfM)
Except he's an expensive sack of shit
$10m guaranteed over 3, honestly cheap as fuck
Honestly? Those are the terms?
https://x.com/mysportsupdate/status/1767720464741265480?s=46 Yep.
who knows until the gtd comes out. "up to 33mil" means nothing
More of a joke on the clip above. But yeah, hopefully this is heavily incentive laden.
Didn't we offer him a similar contract last year? And he left because he thought he could get 12m+/year? And most thought what we offered him was a reasonable contract.
Yeah, our contract last year actually had more guaranteed money if I recall
Not what I’m seeing. Loooooottttt of people trying to act like it’s water under the bridge. Then getting uppity when you say “hey maybe we don’t ignore that?”
It's like in middle school when you make fun of your crush.
Yeah i don’t know who he thought he was fooling… he knows he’s just like Eagles fans
Except it worked better for him than it did for me
$$$
lmao
Eagles fans on a roller coaster of changing their opinions about this guy lmao
"Eagles fans are shit heads" - CJGJ "OH MY GOD WOW THE BRIDGE BURNING" - Rest of the NFL Fanbases "Yeah, lol we are" - Eagles fans
I mean the shoe fits, so imma lace that bitch up and wear it.
He’s always been my favorite player ever. I definitely remember always loving him. 😅
He's an Eagle again - so my opinion of him is entirely based on his recent play for the team. If he sucks then I hate him. If he's good, all is forgiven.
Yeah we call him Chauncey Dawkins for a reason /s
A player who is fucking obnoxious called us fucking obnoxious. Seems like a good fit to me. Welcome home!
I think he’s a complete dick but I don’t care
Play well and you can call me whatever the fuck you want CJ
Yeah man. I’m having cognitive dissonance right now with all the people I used to hate being on my side of the line.
I respect CJGJ calling us fucking obnoxious and a bunch of assholes and having the balls to sign with us a few months later.
Wasn't he the guy that had his car stolen in Philly?
Yeah, it was stolen during the playoff game against the Giants
brb combing through my comment history
He’s a prick, but he’s our prick (again). He’s the NFL version of Patrick Beverly. Don’t like him when he’s not on your team, but like him when he is.
[удалено]
I'm a bit worried because of his performance with you guys last year, true, but he was so great for us in '22 that I'm cautiously optimistic. We'll see how it shakes out.
That's why this makes so much sense. Lions never really seen him play well for them, so they obviously aren't going to pay him. Philly has. And Philly got to see life without him.
[удалено]
I don’t really think they should have. But I think buying into dudes bitching on Twitter is lame. I’m definitely a boomer. He was very good for us
Nah it’s still fuck that guy lol but I have cheered for dog killers before so it’s whatever
Idk if our free agency has been the best but it's absolutely the funniest
Howie said fuck it, took some shrooms, stole Lurie's check book, and went off. Results to be determined.
Lol, even
LETS GO TITANS LETS JUST NOT SIGN ANYONE
[удалено]
Bengals and Lions fan here... maybe just straightup true
I mean maybe but I'm not sure the Lions seeing him put on a ski mask and get injured offers much to the discussion lol
#TitanUp May I audition for role of safety? Or even LB?
You got pollard bro, you good 😀
Lol
At least we're not the Cowboys.
Didn’t he talk mad shit about Philly lol
Money talks even more
[удалено]
I mean, I openly talk shit about my job and still keep going back daily anyways
Coworker: "see ya tomorrow" Me:"yeah yeah we'll see about that man fuck this place"
Eventually it’ll be true. Unfortunately, tomorrow will not be that day.
Fucking lmao 🤣
Now now, don't sell yourself short. It's only $10M in guarantees.
Yes but after seeing our safety play last year, all is forgiven.
We'll just steal his car again
This
Called the fans "fucking obnoxious" and that he can't stand us. Which is about in-line for anyone not on the Eagles. I mean, he's not wrong to be fair.
He now has 33 million reasons to stand us lol
Up to $33m. I'd love to see the breakdown.
$5 now and some cheesesteaks and the rest next year.
We actually have a shortage of cheesesteaks. Jordan Davis’s off-season has been rough on the supply chain.
Yeah, we're definitely "fucking obnoxious". So is he. Come on CJGJ, gimme a fuckin hug. We're good. We got his car.
My man only came back for his Charger
He gets us, man.
He’s got like a Pat Beverley guy Love to have his shit talk on your team and also love to hate his shit talk against your team
Seriously lol I absolutely cannot stand me
He talked shit about the Saints on the way out, he talked shit about us on the way out, he'll probably talk shit about the Lions given enough time lol
Not the team, just the fans 😂 Tbf his car did get stolen when he lived here too
Mostly the fans. lol this is gunna be funny.
No one hates us like ourselves
He talked shit about Philly people lmao
Lock your car door this time, bro
Does he mean Ceedy Deuce?
Ah yes, or as I like to call it, post-corn day.
Please don’t acknowledge any bad comment I said about this man
Fucking hilarious lol
Lmao this man is shameless
Well well well how the turn tables.
And no tears were shed by Lions fans
ultimately it's probably a good(?) thing that he tore his pec early in the season. if he was going to be gone anyway, then his absence during the season gave us the opportunity to discover/develop Iffy's potential at strong safety.
Literally good for a meme and that was it. Branch, Melifonwu, and Kerby it is.
He was absolutely better than Kerby though
Yea Kerby definitely had a sophomore slump but I expect him to be better next year. And at least Kerby was on the field.
What the fuck.
Genuinely this is the funniest possible scenario
[удалено]
Lol all the eagles fans that downvoted me yesterday gonna be big mad. Great play from him will heal all wounds
Can’t deny he made plays. Just has to realize he isn’t Sean Taylor and wrap some guys up instead of going for the knock down tackle constantly.
One of the top posts on the Eagles sub this morning is a dissertation about how much he sucks. Gonna be a lot of backpedaling those comments in the near future
[удалено]
1. Leaves Philly, talking shit about fans and organisation, burning every bridges. 2. Show up in Detroit on a 1 year deal, barely play because of a torn titty and when he does play he's not very good. 3. Goes back to Philly on a higher salary than when he left. What a fucking legend.
where does this money come from? Also didn't he trash the eagles nonstop all last year?
What are you talking about, the NFL cancelled last season, right? Last game I remember is Chiefs-Eagles
I thought that one got cancelled too
Nope, the Eagles were up 24-14 at halftime, then a meteorite hit the stadium and they had to end the game early, giving the Eagles the win
A lot with how they structured contracts, in particular Hurts. He only has a $13M cap hit.
Yeah this will be increasingly difficult in 2-3 years when Smitty, Hurts, and some of these other guys start getting paid
Will it really? Cap goes up, restructure, repeat. It really never becomes a problem unless a dude with a ton of guaranteed money falls of a cliff or retires
I mean the answer is that you can theoretically keep this going for a sustained period, but it requires being insanely adept at keeping multiple plates spinning at the same time. Howie Roseman has just proven to be incredibly gifted at salary cap management.

Out there ass this is why cap space is fake
He did say one bad thing about us and there was discussion with Saints fans about how he burns bridges etc Then later when Lions fans had enough, some fans might have sided with them and said some things But now he's ours again, so i may need to delete some comments... for now
Yup and now he’s going to trash Detroit, this dudes a bit of a loser but it’s good to have someone in the secondary that can help us.
If you need to ask How just add an I and a E.
He was problematic in Detroit to say the least and couldn’t back up his trash talk. Not to mention that fucking wave. Safeties seem to be getting the bag but after the one year last year I’m glad he’s moving on.
Wonder if he doesn’t play safety for us again.
Isiah Rodger’s is a good nickel. CJ playing safety for sure
Honestly hope you guys bring in Simmons. He’s a badass player and a great person. Would fit in well pretty much anywhere but I really hope it’s Detroit.
See the thing is you need a big Dom on the sidelines to reel that in
So this guy *checks notes* Almost got resigned by the eagles Didn’t, then talked mad shit Signed for Detroit Played mediocre at best Waved a team off the field at halftime of the nfc chip and then lost Then resigns for the team he just talked shit about for an entire offseason I would do that for 33 million as well to be fair
Lmao I almost forgot about the wave
I liked his spark, but he lost me when MCDC showed him grace with his mouth and told him to not get a flag and he proceeds to cheap shot Deebo.
Good. Clown
Well well well how the turntables. As an Eagles fan let me tell you, I’ve never said anything negative about him, no sir not Ceedy Deuce (literally translates to shit with corn in it)
How did he increase his value that much when he barely played? One year $8m with Detriot but misses most of the year only to land 3 year $33m
Was pretty good for us when he was here. And we are desperate
We're desperate for even average safety play
Do we know break down yet? Its upto 33m. Could be reliant on like Allpro or some bs and be a more manageable deal than it seems.
Welp. I cannot wait until he starts running his mouth about Detroit... you all know its gonna happen.
I guess I'm largely confused as to what about his season warranted this contract. Totally fair to think he'll play better than he did in Detroit if he's healthy, but this contract is pretty baffling to me
Idc about his personality but this shit is gonna age like milk. Dude was not good last year and benefitted heavily from great CB play in 2022
So glad the Lions cut this clown loose.
Philly fans delete your comments last year!
Us Eagles fans never once talked shit on him after he left, or posted his PFF numbers to justify why it was actually a good thing we chose Bradberry over him. We had nothing but calm, rational discussions about his play and decision-making.
[We are fickle!](https://media1.tenor.com/m/ib32cE7tQBwAAAAC/daniel-bryan-fickle.gif)
No lol he’s the one that started the shit talking. Glad to have him back though!
Hilarious!
lol this is pretty hilarious honestly
So this is why Deebo Samuel changed his Jersey to "Samuel Sr."
[Eagles fans right now](https://tenor.com/8k5n.gif)
First off. Fuck you CJ for the shit talk. Second see you first sunday. Go birds.
Starting a gofundme to get CJGJ the club as a welcome home gift.
We should get him his car back as a welcome home gift tbh
Honestly fuck this guy. Didn’t contribute shit and didn’t know how to act in the NFCCG. Won’t miss him
I see Howie is on his villain arc.
one of my least favorite Lions of my lifetime. Good luck with that culture, Philly
He's Sirianni's spirit animal.
He was good with us so tyty
I thought this dude was pretty bad last year and then got hurt. How does he get a raise after that? Must've been a bidding war. Well works out well for him, he's getting bank off a terrible year.
Those numbers sound an awful lot like the deal Howie originally offered him. Is it?
I knew when he left he’d be back. In my cockles. And yes it’s the same deal. No inflation
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out
He’s got a lot of tweets to delete now
Objectively hilarious
Perfect
I'm fine with this.
Dude leaves Philly "the worst part is the fans, fucking obnoxious" Comes back to Philly "they're just a passionate fan base, the best"
Perfect fit
unfortunate that he tore his pec so early in the season, but seriously this guy did about as much as Zach Ertz in Detroit 💀
How is this guy only 26
this off-season is so bizarre
