(SI.COM) – The Philadelphia Eagles are signing defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a three-year deal worth up to $33 million in maximum value.
His agents, Kevin Conner and Robert Brown of Universal Sports, confirmed the deal to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
It’s a return to Philadelphia for Gardner-Johnson, who spent one season with the Eagles in 2022. He tied for the NFL lead in interceptions with six that season despite missing five games with a lacerated kidney.
He became the only Eagles player since the 1970 merger to record interceptions in five consecutive games.
After he hit free agency, the Lions signed Gardner-Johnson to a one-year deal last offseason to try to upgrade the secondary, but he was limited to just three games after suffering a torn pectoral in Week 2.
When active, Gardner-Johnson was productive, with 17 tackles, 3 passes defended, and 1 interception during the regular season.
