NFL star CJ Gardner-Johnson takes swipe at team in 'disrespectful' message

Free agent safety CJ Gardner-Johnson looks to have taken a shot at his former team in a new deleted tweet.

The 25-year-old defensive back remains one of the biggest names available in free agency after not yet coming to an agreement with his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles. The two parties were said to be in discussions on a long-term deal, but it appears that the talented safety does not like what he was offered by the team.

Gardner-Johnson is rightly seen as one of the better players at his position in the league, having the versatility to play in a number of different roles while being an emotional leader. And with his level of play matching those qualities, he would have been expected to be given a big extension in what would be his first contract after his rookie deal.
