Twitter reacts to C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s cryptic tweet fanning free agency flames

CJ GardnerJohnson Eagles NFL Philadelphia (Organization) USA TODAY Sports Bill Streicher Philly

Howie Roseman and the Eagles have said all the right things about wanting to keep C.J. Gardner-Johnson on a long-term deal, but as the new league year fast approaches, things could be changing.

Philadelphia will now head into NFL free agency with limited cap space and a looming contract extension for All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts.

As expected, the Eagles let Tuesday’s franchise and transition tag deadline pass without locking down C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Javon Hargrave, or any of their 19 pending free agents.

Likely seeing the writing on the wall, Gardner-Johnson posted this cryptic Tweet, saying one love to Philly fans with a hype video to remind folks just how good he was in 2022.

Social media reacts to everything and Gardner-Johnson essentially saying goodbye to fans drew some urgent responses.
