Saints get multiple draft picks from Eagles for C.J. Gardner-Johnson

The Saints traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Eagles in exchange for multiple future draft picks, via @DillySanders:

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is now reporting that the New Orleans compensation for Chauncey Gardner-Johnson from the Philadelphia Eagles is a fifth-round selection in 2023 and the worse of the Eagles’ two sixth-round selections in 2024. The Saints will also send a seventh-round pick in 2025 along with the safety, effectively making that selection a year earlier and a round higher.

Gardner-Johnson spent three seasons in New Orleans, and now in his contract season it became clear that the two sides were not going to come to a decision on an extension. Now, the Saints are able to get some compensation and the Gardner-Johnson gets to become a full time safety and likely a larger contract because of it. The picks returned would probably be placed in higher rounds if Philadelphia wouldn’t expect to sign Gardner-Johnson to a top-of-market contract extension.

Julio Jones trade: Details emerge regarding fourth-round pick

The Falcons sent Julio Jones along with a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans Sunday morning in exchange for 2022 second-round pick and a fourth in 2023.

The Falcons sent Julio Jones along with a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans Sunday morning in exchange for a 2022 second-round pick and a fourth in 2023. Three days after the terms of the trade were announced, it has become official now that the Titans created the necessary cap space to bring in Jones.

Atlanta has nearly $15 million in cap space, which is enough to sign the 2021 draft class and ensure the team is cap compliant once we get to the 53-man roster.

One detail of the trade emerged on Wednesday regarding the fourth-round pick the Falcons received.  This selection will in fact be conditional — so if the Titans receive a compensatory pick in round four, then the Falcons will get that pick. If not Atlanta will receive Tennessee’s original fourth-round pick.

 

Tennessee received a compensatory fourth-round pick in 2022 due to the departure of tight end Jonnu Smith this offseason, and could see more departures next season with 36 players set to hit the open market.
