The writing had been on the wall for awhile, however with the addition of Bryce Huff and a restructured deal for Josh Sweat, Haason Reddick was on the commerce block, and the Eagles lastly discovered a suitor. Philly’s high edge rusher will now be heading to the Jets — the place Huff performed final season — for surprisingly little: a conditional draft decide in 2026.
The decide in 2026 is a third-round decide that could possibly be a second rounder if Reddick hits 67.5 p.c playtime and has 10 or extra sacks this season, per Adam Schefter. The Jets may also tackle the DE’s contract price for 2024, save for his $1 million roster bonus.
Correcting this: The #Jets will tackle $14.5 million of Haason Reddick’s compensation for 2024, the ultimate 12 months of his deal. The #Eagles foot the invoice on the $1 million roster bonus that was due earlier this month. The hope is the edges work out a brand new deal quickly.

Whereas Reddick being traded was assumed, it doesn’t make it any higher for the Eagles protection. Persistently one of many high producers over the previous two seasons, the DE was seeking to be paid among the many finest at his place following the 2024 season, however the Eagles weren’t taking a look at a long-term deal — notably with Huff, Sweat, Brandon Graham re-signing, and Nolan Smith anticipated to make a leap in Yr 2.
Reddick wasn’t as productive within the again half of the 2023 season, however the Eagles protection struggled as an entire, and the sting rusher was the sufferer of a mid-season DC and scheme change. Nonetheless, his two seasons in his hometown had been notable, and he had back-to-back Professional Bowl seasons with double-digit sacks.
