The Buffalo Bills are not playing around. Starting safety CJ Gardner-Johnson is officially off the roster, cut two days after coming back from a suspension for spitting at Raiders tight end Brock Bowers.

A Costly Field Incident

Gardner-Johnson got himself ejected two weeks ago during Buffalo’s game against the Raiders. Why? He apparently launched some liquid in Bowers’ direction. Look, we all know Brock Bowers can be a pain to cover, but the dude’s not exactly sparking that kind of rage with his attitude. No excuse for that behavior, ever. That move cost him big time. He was kicked out of that game and then hit with a suspension for their next matchup, which was against the rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. Get this, the Eagles somehow lost that game 27-10.

Bills Draw a Line in the Sand

This past Tuesday, right when Gardner-Johnson was set to hit the practice field again, the Bills made their move. They cut him. Talk about a costly bit of saliva! This sends a loud and clear message: the Bills aren’t going to put up with that kind of nonsense, no matter if you’re a starter.

While Buffalo deals with its drama, our Seahawks took a tough one this week, falling to the Chicago Bears 34-17. It’s an early season gut punch, but we’ll regroup, 12s. Always do.
