CJ Gardner Johnson finally came out in public following the Eagles’ crushing defeat in week 4. Everyone is aware of the trash-talking the football safety did and how foolish he appeared after the game when he was unable to carry out those actions.

After the game, fans expected Micah Parsons to take a shot as he and Johnson had an online feud. It appears that this controversy has taken a new turn after the most recent edition of Parsons’ podcast. In case you missed it, Parsons hosted cornerback Darius Slay of the Eagles. It was a terrific podcast in which various subjects were spoken about but maybe C. J. Gardner-Johnson did not enjoy it.

Why, one would wonder? It’s just that he didn’t like that a teammate of his had attended a show featuring a guy he doesn’t get along with. In front of the supporters, he is being ridiculed. The football player used his Instagram story to express his disappointment as a result. “Damn” was written on a dark backdrop story that he uploaded.

Given Darius Slay’s backing Johnson on the podcast, this IG story seems a little incongruous. In case you missed it, Slay asserted that Johnson’s disparaging remarks are advantageous to the group. He does that, and everyone is glad about it because it makes things interesting and builds excitement for the game. As for what C. J. Gardner-Johnson will do next is a topic on which people are keeping an eye very closely.

C. J. Gardner-Johnson roasted an entire team by calling them pretenders

Perhaps many of you are aware of the above-mentioned roast. For those unaware, Johnson started spewing trash just before the Saints game. At that point, the football safety ridiculed the whole opposing team, branding them as pretenders of the game. His exact statement was, “They ain’t no contenders they’re pretenders.”

Fans detested these kinds of remarks, even though the Eagles won the game 15–10. Due to the fact that the Eagles won no one stated anything to Johnson. It is because of that, he repeated it in the game against Tampa Bay, calling out the squad and saying, “I am putting belt to a– today.” These were a few strong remarks, and the fans are now questioning the safety because he was unable to follow through with his own statement.
