C.J. Gardner-Johnson Sends Apology To Eagles For His Comments

The Philadelphia Eagles made a business decision when they moved on from C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

They traded the safety to the Houston Texans shortly after winning Super Bowl LIX, with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio saying it was a financially based decision.

Gardner-Johnson didn’t care for those comments and took several shots at his former team.

Now that he’s had some time to cool off, he went out of his way to backpedal and clear the air on this situation. (Video Below)

“I retract them,” Gardner-Johnson said, via “The Pivot.” “And I won’t even say it because I played with those guys. I know how they would feel, like, ‘Chauncey, you’re tripping.’ … Lane Johnson, respectfully. Lane is my big vet, and Lane would tell me, ‘I got your back, but when you do too much, I don’t got your back,’ and that’s one of those moments that’s too much. Apologizing to the guys in Philly, I got nothing against them. If they win six more rings without me, they deserve it because that’s the type of players they are.”

As a competitor, Gardner-Johnson took a big hit to his ego with the trade.

It’s not easy to see your team moving on, but players shouldn’t take things personally in this business.

Gardner-Johnson had a great run with the Eagles, and no one can take his Super Bowl ring away.

Now, he will enter this season with a huge chip on his shoulder, and he’ll be extra motivated to prove that he’s worth every penny the Texans are about to pay him.

Houston boasts a solid defense with a strong combination of youth and veteran leadership.

It will also look to bounce back after a somewhat disappointing season, and having Gardner-Johnson looking to make a statement might be just what it needs.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026. What do YOU think – is this legitimate workplace harassment, or is the cheerleader blowing things out of proportion?
