Quick Release After Short Stay
The Buffalo Bills released safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday after just six games with the team. He had signed during the offseason and started every contest before the move. The decision came one day after he completed a one-game suspension.
Incident and On-Field Numbers
Gardner-Johnson was ejected before halftime against the Las Vegas Raiders for spitting in the direction of tight end Brock Bowers. In his six appearances he recorded 26 tackles along with two pass breakups and one interception. He played no special-teams snaps during that span.
Remaining Safety Options
The Bills now turn to veterans Damar Hamlin and Geno Stone plus rookie Jalon Kilgore. Hamlin and Stone started the Week 8 win over Baltimore during the suspension and showed they can handle the role.
Prior Team History
Before joining Buffalo, Gardner-Johnson had suited up for six different clubs across the previous five seasons. He earned a Super Bowl title while with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024.
