Rapoport and Pelissero note the decision to move the Florida product was made once extension talks with Gardner-Johnson collapsed.

A native of Cocoa, FL, Gardner-Johnson was originally selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

He's appeared in 43 games (31 starts) over three seasons, recording 161 tackles, five interceptions and 3.0 sacks.

Gardner-Johnson joins a defensive backs corps that also includes Darius Slayton, Anthony Harris, James Bradberry and Marcus Epps among others.
