CJ Gardner-Johnson Claims He's the Victim of a 'Devilish Plot' After Accusations of Harming a Rival.


PHILADELPHIA, PA
– Former Philadelphia Eagles star safety, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, is forcefully responding to a series of serious allegations from his ex-girlfriend, Summer Bunni, who claims he plotted to have an associate harm New York Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers during a game last season.

The incident erupted on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, when Bunni posted a series of stories directly targeting Gardner-Johnson on her personal Instagram account. In a widely circulated post, Bunni defiantly quoted Gardner-Johnson's alleged words:
"Tell Malik Nabers about that so-called hit you got with your boy Z. ‘Tonight my boy Z going to go get Malik Nabers.’ You ain’t do (expletive). Go live and get some more views. You got 23 views, hopefully you get some more" Bunni wrote.

Gardner-Johnson responded to the allegations from the mother of his two children on his own Instagram story.
"I’m going to clear this up, it ain't no story, y'all" Gardner-Johnson wrote. "Like, this [expletive] is fake news, my guy. Y’all can DM, we don’t even know each other... We don’t even have a problem on the field. Y’all want to believe something so bad that has no story behind it. Oh, let's clear this up. Z-Dog is a music producer... Sometimes the devil will try to shake your faith, and I’m not shaken."

This public dispute adds to a contentious history between Gardner-Johnson and Bunni. In June 2020, he was accused by Bunni of stealing a $25,000 watch from a jeweler and allegedly pulling a gun on her when she reported his actions to his then-team, the New Orleans Saints. Similarly, just days after his Super Bowl appearance with the Philadelphia Eagles, she took to social media to accuse him of being a bad father, child neglect, and even allegedly sending threats to their young daughter.

Gardner-Johnson is a hot-headed player known for making headlines with his outlandish comments, such as saying Philadelphia would never win another Super Bowl without him, but these new allegations are on another level. At the time of this writing, neither the NFL, the Eagles, the New York Giants, nor his current team, the Houston Texans, have commented on the allegations. With Gardner-Johnson's denial, this story will likely conclude, barring any shocking developments.

 

Cowboys Reunite with a Former Starter, Bolstering a Battle-Tested Defense for the Stretch Run
Dallas, TX – In a surprising yet strategic move, the Dallas Cowboys have officially signed linebacker Luke Gifford on the afternoon of October 8, 2025, just hours after the San Francisco 49ers decided to cut the veteran. The one-year, $3.5 million deal (with performance bonuses up to $1.5 million) marks an emotional homecoming for Gifford to the franchise that launched his career, while also plugging an urgent hole in Dallas’ linebacker depth after multiple injuries out of Week 5.   Gifford, 29, was a reliable glue piece for the Cowboys from 2019 to 2022—an undrafted gem who carved out his role on special teams and situational defense in the star and stripes. After leaving Dallas, he spent time with the Tennessee Titans (2023) and 49ers (2024–2025), earning a reputation as a smart, assignment-sound linebacker who can play WILL/SAM and contribute immediately on kick coverage and sub-packages.   With San Francisco this year, Gifford appeared in four games before Tuesday night’s roster shuffle left him as the odd man out. Dallas pounced. “Luke knows our standard and our language,” head coach Mike McCarthy said after practice. “He’s tough, dependable, and versatile. Given where our linebacker room is right now, he’s exactly the kind of veteran who can stabilize us fast.”   For the Cowboys—leading the NFC East at 4–1 but juggling availability at linebacker—this is timely triage and culture reinforcement. Defensive coaches value Gifford’s communication and angles in space; special teams coordinator notes he can step in on all four core units immediately. Gifford, moments after signing, posted on X: “Back where it started. Let’s work. #HowBoutThemCowboys #DC4L”   Cowboys Nation erupted online as #GiffordReturns trended across the Metroplex, with many fans framing it as a subtle flex against the 49ers—Dallas’ recent playoff nemesis. NFL Network panels speculated Gifford could suit up as early as this weekend if paperwork clears, logging early snaps on special teams and dime looks while the staff ramps him into the defensive packages.   Beyond the depth chart math, the message is clear: Dallas is moving decisively to protect its defensive identity and keep the NFC East lead. If Gifford brings the same reliability and edge-setting discipline he showed in his first stint, the Cowboys may have found the steadying piece they needed for a stretch run.   Can Luke Gifford’s homecoming spark a sturdier second level and help Dallas tighten the screws in crunch time? We’ll know soon enough. #CowboysNation #DallasCowboys #HowBoutThemCowboys
