CJ Gardner-Johnson talks (again) about why he thinks he was traded.

CJGJ reminds me of T.O.: tons of talent, but a really challenging/difficult personality. Trading him was one of the biggest head-scratcher moves this off season.

I’ve heard some talk from guys who follow the team (not media personalities) that there was some kind of event that happened that they heard about from players on the team. They won’t spill the beans, or talk about what happened, but they said it made sense why he was traded after hearing about it.

I don’t know what happened, or how true it is, but I buy that CJGJ did something that caused the trade. I think we’ll miss his play on the field, but sometimes getting rid if a guy is addition by subtraction.

There’s a reason why he keeps changing teams. It isn’t his talent.

If he signs his contract.
 
Super Bowl rings were unveiled last night. Details and cool video.

  • The bezel of the ring features 145 diamonds, which celebrates the Eagles' 145 points scored in the playoffs – the most in NFL postseason history. The remarkable feat includes 40 points against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, in addition to a conference-championship-record 55-point effort against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.
  • On top of the ring, "WORLD CHAMPIONS" consists of 40 points of diamonds, commemorating the Eagles' 40 points scored in the Super Bowl LIX victory.
  • Standing behind the Eagles logo on the top of the ring are two Vince Lombardi Trophies, highlighting the first two Super Bowl Championships in franchise history that were each achieved under Jeffrey Lurie's ownership (also Super Bowl LII).
  • One carat of marquise-shaped diamonds inside the Vince Lombardi Trophies honors the Eagles' top-ranked total defense (278.4 yards per game) and their rushing offense that set an NFL record with 3,866 rushing yards (including playoffs). The Eagles became the second team since the 1970 merger to feature the No. 1 total defense and the league's rushing champion – Saquon Barkley, who set an NFL record with 2,504 rushing yards (including playoffs), with a league-best 2,005 rushing yards in the regular season.
  • Encircling the top of the ring are 18 green stones, honoring the Eagles' NFL-record-tying 18 combined victories in the regular season and playoffs (fourth team in history). The Eagles tied a franchise record with 14 regular-season wins before winning three consecutive home playoff games and Super Bowl LIX in the postseason.
  • On the team side of the ring, the Super Bowl LIX logo is centered between the Eagles wordmark and the score of 40-22 from the game. Ten points of diamonds in the Super Bowl LIX logo signify the Eagles' franchise-record 10-game winning streak in the regular season, which put the team on path for a historic run towards the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
  • On the players' side of the ring, players' last names are featured with their jersey numbers, encrusted in diamonds, against the backdrop of Lincoln Financial Field, paying homage to the dedicated fan base that passionately supported the team throughout its Super Bowl LIX-winning campaign. Staff rings feature last names with the Eagles logo placed at the center of the design.
  • Bordering each side of the ring are wings that release from the bezel by pressing a special button feature that is located at the top of the ring – a first-of-its-kind element in a championship ring. When the opening mechanism releases the wings, the inscription of "YOU CAN'T BE GREAT WITHOUT THE GREATNESS OF OTHERS" becomes visible, honoring Nick Sirianni's message of unity and selflessness embraced by the team.
  • The 0.9 carats of diamonds on the wings represent the combined six sacks and three turnovers by the Eagles' defense in Super Bowl LIX, cherishing one of the most dominant defensive performances in Super Bowl history. Josh Sweat (2.5), Milton Williams (2), Jordan Davis (1), and Jalyx Hunt (0.5) totaled six sacks, while Cooper DeJean (pick-six in the second quarter), Zack Baun (interception at the end of the first half), and Milton Williams (fourth-quarter fumble recovery) registered the club's three takeaways.
  • The five diamonds on the special feature button underscore the five Eagles who scored points in Super Bowl LIX – Jalen Hurts (three total touchdowns), A.J. Brown (12-yard receiving touchdown), DeVonta Smith (46-yard receiving touchdown), Cooper DeJean (interception returned for a touchdown), and Jake Elliott (most kicking points and tied for most field goals made in Super Bowl history).
  • Inside the ring is a stamp of the Brazilian flag, honoring the Eagles' season opener against the Green Bay Packers at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil, which marked the first NFL game ever played in South America. Beneath the flag are Nick Sirianni's core values of "TOUGH, DETAILED, TOGETHER," which have molded the team's culture. There is also the listing of the scores of all four postseason games along with a "145" stamp, saluting the Eagles' record-breaking accomplishment of 145 points in the playoffs.
  • Signatures are showcased on the bottom of the players' rings. For staff rings, the message "FROM BRAZIL, TO BOURBON, TO BROAD" is displayed, paying tribute to the incredible journey that resulted in a Super Bowl Championship parade.
 
Fantasy Football season started for me now. Had to do a Baseball Fantasy team this year and it just isn't the same. Time to get back to the real ****.
 
Drew Mukuba signed today. No distractions going into Training Camp. 👍

Things I’m looking forward to seeing/hearing out of camp this year:

What happens at CB? Ringo vs Adoree for starting CB? or Does Coop move outside when they play ‘base’ D? They’ll still be in Nickel >50%

Is Sydney Brown a legit starter at S? Does Mukuba have a Dejean-like surge week 5? Do they sign Simmons?

Can Trot Jr play at a high level? When will Campbell be ready? When does Nakobe see the field?

EDIT: Staying on the Defensive side of the ball: What happens at EDGE? Can Jalyx Hunt make the leap this year? Does Nolan Smith keep the late season momentum going? Do any of the FA signings give us aignificant enough production?

Who starts at RG? Is it Steen? or one of the FAs?

Can Jahan Dotson really become a legit, no-fooling WR3 in this offense?
