5 takeaways from Eagles trading for Saints DB Chauncey Gardner-Johnson

Takeaways and observations from the Philadelphia Eagles acquiring versatile defender Chauncey Gardner-Johnson from the New Orleans Saints for draft picks

The Eagles made a big move on Tuesday and acquired defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson from the New Orleans Saints.

Philadelphia landed Gardner-Johnson, the Saints’ 2025 seventh-round draft pick, for a 2023 fifth-round draft pick and the worst of their two sixth-round draft picks in 2024.

The team made moves at the position on Monday and Tuesday, releasing Jaquiski Tartt and Anthony Harris to make room for the versatile trash talker.

Gardner-Johnson has experience as a slot corner and safety but is expected to start at safety opposite Marcus Epps.

His versatility will allow him to slide down into the slot as well.

With the team continuing to trim the roster, here are five takeaways from Gardner-Johnson’s arrival.
