says it's a done deal.
Wow....I thought he'd get a multi-year deal for sure.  
Tom in NY : 3/19/2023 9:39 pm : link
Something is up with this guy that it's only a 1 year deal....maybe he's thinking the market will have more $$ next year with the new salary cap?
I'm just glad that he didn't go back

to Philadelphia.
roseman is a great gm  
Eric on Li : 3/19/2023 9:41 pm : link
but the degree of difficulty is going to get even harder after hurts gets paid.

Eric on LI: Are they capped at four comp picks?  
Big Blue Blogger : 3/19/2023 9:45 pm : link

Chris in Philly : 3/19/2023 9:45 pm : link

Payasdaddy : 3/19/2023 9:53 pm : link

Wow. The Detroit Lions are signing former Eagles S C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a one-year, $8 million deal with $6.5M guaranteed signing, per @TomPelissero. The safety market has absolutely cratered. And yet it’s still shocking the Eagles wouldn’t even match that. Telling.
Lions  
ElitoCanton : 3/19/2023 9:57 pm : link
are going to run away with that division.
He was the guy I wanted  
gersh : 3/19/2023 10:17 pm : link
But there’s clearly off the field stuff we don’t know about. So what FA Safeties are left?
Dude is a headcase,  
jvm52106 : 3/19/2023 10:32 pm : link
Two teams where he played well basically sent him away or didn't take him back. That says something.

Hargrove, Edwards, Quinn and Semalo do not count in the Comp pick formula because their contracts were voided. I don’t think they will be getting close to what you are thinking comp pick wise.

Roseman shot his load and is still trying to win with the aging roster. This is a very old team at this point and now will lack quality depth. They have a lot of talent still but the the roster is old and thin.
Glad he's not going back to Philly  
Matt in SGS : 3/19/2023 10:58 pm : link
keep hurting their depth and dragging them back to the pack. But the Lions are going to be a problem.
Philadelphia writer:  
Vin_Cuccs : 3/19/2023 11:00 pm : link
Sources say a week ago the eagles offered CJGJ a 3 year deal 2 guaranteed for more money total than the one year he signed with Detroit … … more to this story I’m sure will eventually come out

if void years dont shorten the initial contract they still count. korte is usually very accurate in his projections (these arent from me, they are from otc).
I'm glad he is not going back to the Eagles,  
prdave73 : 3/19/2023 11:33 pm : link
but I'm mad the Giants didn't go after him after losing Love. smh.

It's the price of winning or even getting to the SB, start to lose free agents...show me the money. I would not have mind if the Giants signed Gardner-Johnson to a one year deal myself. They must be high on Pinnock, can't believe they are that high on Belton, he doesn't have the range back there.

of course but it gets harder to replace when you have less money. they are already working to replace 7 starters and hurts is making 4.7m. how many more are they going to have to replace when he's counting +40m per year?

Void years do not affect comp picks. A player who leaves in a void year counts as a free agent for compensatory purposes.
