Haason Reddick Traded to the Jets
Not your typical Friday news dump:
*if not, it’s a 2026 third-round pick.

I kind of hate it. Reddick for a conditional third? I’d rather have him than Bryce Huff.
But Huff is younger and cheaper and that’s probably all this comes down to. The Eagles gave Huff, 25 years old, 3 years and $51 million. 29 year old Reddick got 3 years, $45 million with the Birds a few years ago, and his production is right up there with league’s top edge rushers, but he wasn’t getting that $20 million+ Maxx Crosby and Myles Garrett type of money.
Mike Garafolo says this on Twitter:
“The #Jets will take on $14.5 million of Haason Reddick’s compensation for 2024, the final year of his deal. The #Eagles foot the bill on the $1 million roster bonus that was due earlier this month. The hope is the sides work out a new deal soon.”
Jets defense will be nasty. Yeesh.
The Eagles lost a good one, but it was a numbers game. Get younger and cheaper. Can’t pay everyone.
