The Philadelphia Eagles added a new piece to their secondary after the team traded for New Orleans Saints defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and confirmed by Gardner-Johnson’s agent.
The Eagles will also get the Saints’ 7th-round pick in 2025, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Saints will receive the Eagles’ fifth-round pick in 2023 and the worse of their two sixth-round picks in 2024.
The Saints were reportedly trying to sign Gardner-Johnson to an extension but when talks stalled, New Orleans sent him to Philadelphia, per NFL Network. Gardner-Johnson steps in as the Eagles’ starting safety after the team reportedly released veteran safety Anthony Harris almost immediately after the trade went through.

Opening Statement: “First off, I thought we fought hard did a lot of good things. Won the turnover battle and that was significant. Then when Taysom went down Trevor did a good job filling in all the things you want to do to win a game. Obviously, the other game didn’t go the way we wanted. I’m proud of this group, I thought we fought hard all season.”
On his emotions after winning today’s game but not making the playoffs: “It is what it is. You’re disappointed. Obviously, as a team, we’re watching the finish of the game. You’re disappointed. You play to get in the postseason and our players the same way, feel the same way.”
On an update of QB Taysom Hill after being injured in the first half: “No, we’ll have more once we do a little bit further evaluation tomorrow. Hurt his Lisfranc. We just don’t know to what degree, but we’ll have that get passed along to you guys as soon as we get a little bit further in his examination.” Read more here.

Atlanta – The New Orleans Saints didn’t qualify for the 2021 playoffs. But the bow they placed on the first 17-game regular season in NFL history – a 30-20 victory over the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium – was an impressive one as they finished 9-8, and skirted with a postseason berth until the very end.
In earning a series split with Atlanta (7-10), New Orleans claimed second place in the NFC South Division with one of their most thorough victories of the season.
