The Eagles will have to replace both safeties from the 2022 season after news that C.J. Gardner-Johnson is signing with the Lions. DZangaroNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the details:
This Gardner-Johnson news comes after we found out earlier in free agency that fellow starting safety Marcus Epps signed a two-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. The top remaining safeties on the current roster are Reed Blankenship and K’Von Wallace. They also have nickel corners Avonte Maddox and Josiah Scott, who have shown some ability to play safety. But this position seems very unsettled a week after free agency.
In addition to the interceptions, Gardner-Johnson also had 67 tackles, a sack and 5 tackles for loss. There were some shaky moments playing a new position just days after the Eagles acquired him but Gardner-Johnson settled into his role and even played some nickel corner again in a pinch when the Eagles needed him.
