The Bills have CUT safety CJ Gardner-Johnson after a rocky start that included a suspension for spitting.

Do you think that CJGJ's release is a precursor to an addition in the safety room, or just moving on from a player who wasn't working out?

00:00C.J. Gardner-Johnson, that's the news of the day, right?
00:03The Bills cut ties with C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
00:07And can we have a little bit of fun with the announcement?
00:12Is that allowed?
00:13Sure.
00:14Every single line, every single report included the line.
00:18It was C.J.'s inconsistency in play that led to the release,
00:22not as much the spitting incident that got him suspended.
00:24Respectfully.
00:26Just respectfully.
00:27Respectfully.
00:28It was C.J.'s inconsistency that led to the release,
00:31not as much the spitting incident that got him suspended.
00:34All right, let's have a little fun with this.
00:37The Bills' defense is, of course, so very consistent.
00:40Everybody over there is so – I mean, I don't know that the spitting
00:44had anything to do with it.
00:45It probably had something to do with it.
00:46It probably had something to do with the fact – I think you got it right.
00:49He was about to get benched, and he won't accept that.
00:52Right.
00:52And there's a podcast with T.J. Hushmanzada talking about that very thing,
00:56maybe with Emmanuel Acho, and he's saying exactly that.
01:00Yeah.
01:00That C.J. Gardner-Johnson would not accept the demotion.
01:03If he's running with the twos, he's got a problem.
01:06He's cut that day.
01:08That's how it's going to go.
01:09That's how it went in Houston.
01:10So the Bills will carry some dead cap for him this year,
01:13and I think $1 million in dead cap for him next year as well.
01:16Which I did see – I thought that was like an additional one they would take on,
01:20but they had a void year next year that was won,
01:22so I guess it's the same $1 million.
01:24Sure, sure.
01:24But whatever.
01:25He's going to count for $1 million next year.
01:26Right.
01:26The Bills – I mean, this is the – if there's – whatever.
01:30There's one place the Bills have been living,
01:32and that's the free agent market.
01:34They are signing guys that are kind of with names, bottom of the barrel,
01:39trying to get one more kick at it.
01:40And T.J. Garner-Johnson – we probably could have set the over-under
01:43at seven and a half weeks of how long it would last, and it's over.
01:47So he's not here anymore.
01:49Does this have to foretell a trade at safety?
01:53I do not think it has to.
01:55It might, but I don't think it has to.
01:57And he's gone.
02:00He had a pick in the Charger game.
02:02He'd been inconsistent.
02:03To me, it's a position that we don't talk about as much as some of the others.
02:09Yep.
02:09But it has been a rotating door since Poyer and Hyde left.
02:14It has been a complete rotating door that included Jordan Poyer coming back into it.
