PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles acquired defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson from the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday.
The Eagles received Gardner-Johnson and the Saints' 2025 seventh-round draft pick for a 2023 fifth-round draft pick and the latter of their two sixth-round draft picks in 2024.
Gardner-Johnson, who has experience both as a slot corner and safety, is expected to play safety in Philadelphia.
The Eagles created an opening at starting safety before the trade by releasing veteran Anthony Harris, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gardner-Johnson will be paired with Marcus Epps in the back end.
