Wow, we’ve got some cut day wheeling and dealing here from Howie Roseman:

Okay, so Harris is gone. Jaquiski Tartt is gone. In comes Gardner-Johnson, who is a massive shit talker. This guy is one of the biggest instigators in the NFL, a fourth round pick out of Florida a few years ago. No word on terms of the trade yet, but will update when I see something.

UPDATE – here are the terms:

That means your safety group now looks like:

  • Marcus Epps
  • Chauncey Gardner-Johnson
  • Reed Blankenship
  • K’Von Wallace
  • Andre Chachere

More cuts to come, but at the end of the day the Birds don’t move forward with Harris OR Tartt and decide to make a trade instead.

Interestingly enough, CGJ hasn’t played a lot of safety recently:

They’ve got Avonte Maddox in the slot though, so he’ll be a safety here no doubt, just an intriguing wrinkle here.
