Seeing the Atlanta Falcons sign Chauncey Gardner-Johnson would be a wild turn of events. Not too long ago, Gardner-Johnson was getting in a fight with an inanimate object that was the Falcons logo.

It pains me to put him on here because he has been a dirty player in the past, has been a complete pest to other players, and has acted like a lunatic. Yet, part of me wants to see him sign with Atlanta so that we can see him turn the tables and play the Saints twice a year.

He isn’t likely to get out of Philadelphia but one could figure that if he does, Terry Fontenot and Ryan Nielsen would have interest (assuming they aren’t satisfied with Richie Grant and Jaylinn Hawkins). The question that would arise is if he still hates the Falcons, if he does, then kiss this goodbye.
