The biggest news at the NFL roster cuts deadline isn’t a roster cut — it’s a trade, with the New Orleans Saints shipping out C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Philadelphia Eagles in a surprise move. And to his credit, Saints head coach Dennis Allen addressed the move head-on during his next media availability session by announcing the trade.
“I want to say this,” Allen told local media after practice on Tuesday, “That was not an easy decision. I love Chauncey. He’s been a big part of what we’ve been able to do here, specifically defensively … We wouldn’t have done that if we didn’t feel extremely confident in the group we had.”
