The New York Jets are bolstering their pass-rushing unit. The membership has agreed to phrases with the Philadelphia Eagles on a commerce to accumulate All-Professional linebacker Haason Reddick, in response to CBS Sports activities lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones. In trade for Reddick, Philadelphia will obtain a conditional draft decide in 2026. Per Jones, it’s at the moment a third-round choice however can turn into a second-rounder if Reddick performs 67.5% of the defensive snaps in 2024 and has 10-plus sacks.
A commerce out of Philly has been looming over Reddick all through the offseason, notably with the 29-year-old getting into the ultimate yr of his contract. For 2024, Reddick is ready to make a base wage of $14.25 million and has a $21.8 million cap cost. The Jets will tackle $14.5 million of Reddick’s whole compensation for 2024 whereas the Eagles will foot the invoice on his $1 million roster bonus that was due earlier this month, per NFL Media. The Eagles had given Reddick permission to hunt a commerce earlier this offseason, and the writing seemed to be on the wall for his departure after the crew restructured Josh Sweat’s contract and signed fellow move rusher Bryce Huff in free company.
Talking of Huff, his departure from the Jets this offseason is what created the opening that’s now being crammed by Reddick, so this can be a roundabout swap between these two franchises.
Reddick entered the league because the No. 13 total decide by the Arizona Cardinals within the 2017 NFL Draft out of Temple. He performed 4 seasons with the membership earlier than having a one-year stint with the Carolina Panthers earlier than touchdown in Philadelphia. With the Eagles is the place Reddick blossomed right into a premier move rusher, incomes back-to-back Professional Bowl nods over the previous two seasons in addition to second-team All-Professional honors in 2022.
Listed here are our prompt grades for the deal:
Eagles: A
General, this can be a fairly even swap between these two Tremendous Bowl contenders. Philadelphia positive aspects a slight edge on this commerce if we have a look at the totality of what led us to the deal. The membership signed Bryce Huff to a three-year deal earlier in free company, which is what made Reddick expendable and created a necessity at move rusher in New York. The Eagles obtained youthful on the place with Huff set to enter his age-26 season and Reddick getting into his age-30 season, whereas not sacrificing dramatically from a expertise standpoint. Whereas Reddick is extra embellished all through his profession, Huff has developed into a powerful move rusher, who’s coming off a career-year 10-sack season in 2023.
As for the commerce itself, it is conceivable this turns right into a second-rounder. Reddick has topped 10-plus sacks in every of his previous 4 seasons and has confirmed to be an every-down participant, notching a minimum of 74% of the defensive snaps in every of the previous 4 years as properly. So, should you have a look at it because the Eagles getting Huff and (at worst) a third-rounder in 2026 for Reddick, that is fairly a return.
Jets: A-
Whereas we now have the Eagles technically “profitable” this deal by a hair, the Jets have landed on their toes fairly properly by buying Reddick, who is among the extra underrated move rushers within the league. He slots into Huff’s function as a super substitute and — for 2024 — ought to show to be the superior participant. It is also a comparatively low-risk transfer for the Jets by way of the draft capital they gave up. Reddick is simply signed via this season and if the crew cannot lengthen him, they’d get a compensatory decide in return for him.
Reddick additionally jives with New York’s “win now” mode that they discover themselves in with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. The membership has made a collection of short-term offers this offseason to bolster their possibilities of hoisting a Lombardi Trophy and Reddick is the newest chess piece to maneuver. A pass-rushing rotation of Reddick, Jermaine Johnson II, Will McDonald IV, and John Franklin-Myers is downright scary. The unsure future past 2024 and the potential price of a second-rounder is what prevents this from drawing even with Philly within the grade division, however this fills a drastic want with a top-tier expertise.
