Eagles trade All-Pro pass rusher Haason Reddick to the Jets

Haason Reddick was looking for a contract extension and the Philadelphia Eagles have traded the Pro Bowl pass rusher to the New York Jets

We wrote about Haason Reddick and the Eagles likely discussing a potential extension or the All-Pro pass rusher taking his talents elsewhere.

Adam Schefter reports that Philadelphia is trading Reddick to the New York Jets.

Reddick finished the year with 11.0 sacks and 38 tackles in 17 regular-season games, and he recorded double-digit sacks for the fourth consecutive season, leading his team in that category and tying for 15th in the NFL.

Had Nolan Smith shown that he was ready to be an elite pass rusher, the idea would have been to cut Reddick, saving the Eagles $11 million after the dead money allotment.

Outside of the sacks, though, Reddick’s numbers were poor by his standards.

His 38 tackles were the second-lowest mark of his career, and he didn’t force or recover a fumble after forcing five and recovering three last season. His snap share (74 percent) remained identical, indicating the drop-off wasn’t due to a lack of opportunities but mismanagement from coaches.

He’ll now swap teams with Bryce Huff.

Haason Reddick landing spots: Ranking the 5 teams most likely to trade for Eagles LB

Ian Rapoport reports the Philadelphia Eagles are taking trade calls for Haason Reddick and we’re looking at the five most likely trade partners

The 2024 NFL offseason is underway for Philadelphia, and after a 32-9 wild card loss to Tampa Bay, the focus will now shift to reshaping the roster to fit two new coordinators on both sides of the ball.

The 2024 cap is $255 million, and according to Over The Cap, Philadelphia is tenth in the NFL with over $40 million in cap space.

The Birds are set to have 19 pending free agents after re-signing Brandon Graham, and with another likely retool schedule on defense, the organization could conjure up a scheme for more flexibility.

Ian Rapoport reports that Philadelphia is taking trade calls on pass rushers Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat.

Reddick finished 15th in the league with 11 sacks and made his second straight Pro Bowl.

He recorded double-digit sacks for the fourth consecutive season, leading his team in that category and tying for 15th in the NFL.

Had Nolan Smith shown that he was ready to be an elite pass rusher, then the idea would have been to cut Reddick, saving the Eagles $11 million after the dead money allotment.

Outside of the sacks, though, Reddick’s numbers were poor by his standards.

His 38 tackles were the second-lowest mark of his career, and he didn’t force or recover a fumble after forcing five and recovering three last season. His snap share (74 percent) remained identical, indicating the drop-off wasn’t due to a lack of opportunities but mismanagement from coaches.

Reddick was dropped back in coverage 15 times the last three games after dropping back just three times the first 15 games, and depending on how Vic Fangio views his role, Philadelphia could save $11 million after the dead cap hit by moving on and rolling with Nolan Smith in 2024.

Josh Sweat landing spots: Ranking the 5 teams most likely to trade for Eagles DE

Ian Rapoport reports the Philadelphia Eagles are taking trade calls for Josh Sweat and we’re looking at the five most likely trade partners

The 2024 NFL offseason is underway for Philadelphia, and after a 32-9 wild card loss to Tampa Bay, the focus will now shift to reshaping the roster to fit two new coordinators on both sides of the ball.

The 2024 cap is $255 million, and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is tenth in the NFL with over $40 million in cap space according to Over The Cap.

The Birds are set to have 19 pending free agents after re-signing Brandon Graham, and with another likely retool schedule on defense, the organization could conjure up a scheme for more flexibility.

Ian Rapoport is reporting that Philadelphia is taking trade calls on both pass rushers Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat.

Depending on who you ask, Sweat is either a building block for the future or a player Philadelphia could potentially move on from for salary cap purposes.

Sweat finished his sixth NFL season with 6.5 sacks (second-best on the Eagles) and 43 tackles in 17 regular-season games.

Sweat saw his role increase even more in the Eagles’ defensive end rotation this season, as his 71 percent snap share increased over his 56 percent mark from last season.

Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman might have questions about extending Sweat after his sack totals dropped from the 11.0 he logged in 2022.

Sweat had 5.5 sacks through nine games but didn’t manage another until Week 18.

Sweat is entering a contract year with a base salary of just over $1 million and a cap hit of just over $9 million. He’s set to count over $21 million against the 2025 salary cap, but has he reached his ceiling as a pass rusher?

Sweat also had 19 QB hits through 10 games and just four in the last seven games.

With the new league year just days away, here are five potential Trade partners.

Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown addresses recent trade rumors, scrub of his Instagram account

Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown says he’s trying to grow as a person NFL amid trade rumors

A.J. Brown just completed his second season with the Eagles, and all the former Ole Miss star has done is rack up two All-Pro selections and set a franchise record for receptions by a receiver and the most receiving yards in two years (2,952).

That still hasn’t stopped some in the media from suggesting Brown could be traded this offseason, even going as far as to predict hypothetical deals.

During an appearance on Up & Adams, host Kay Adams asked Brown about the recent rumors and speculation, and the wide receiver addressed the situation with zen and leverage.

Brown (knee) finished the 2023 regular season with 106 catches on 158 targets for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns.

He played in all 17 regular-season games but missed the 32-9 wild-card round loss to the Buccaneers due to a knee injury.

This season, Brown surpassed his previous career high of 88 catches and had a streak of six consecutive games with at least 127 yards.
