While CJ Gardner-Johnson is set on coming back to the Philadelphia Eagles, he still has some qualms with his previous team. More specifically, how certain members of the Dan Campbell-led Detroit Lions do not immerse themselves in the local community. The other was the fact that some fans were very quick to turn on him after his NFL Free Agency decision. No one was safe from his wrath on social media as he pointed out what was wrong in the team and fanbase’s culture one by one.
CJ Gardner-Johnson blasted the Lions fans first. He certainly did not appreciate that they just trashed what they went through. After all, he just simply got a better offer from the Eagles.
“Lions fans are quick to turn! But ima hush,” he wrote in a deleted post on X.
The former safety for Dan Campbell’s squad even emphasized how well he was treated back when he still played for the Lions. Despite just being on a one-year deal worth $8 million, CJ Gardner-Johnson still loved going around to meet with the locals. He had developed a soft spot for them. It looks like he’s wondering where the love is after NFL Free Agency.
“City legend though, definitely can ask any East side or West side resident! So quick playing on my name ‘fans,” he declared.
Moreover, he also did not like the fact that a vast majority of the Lions players did not show love to their community. Only Jameson Williams was safe from the criticism that he had loaded up.
