Instant analysis of Eagles trading All-Pro pass rusher Haason Reddick to the Jets

We’re looking at an instant analysis of the Philadelphia Eagles trading Haason Reddick to the New York Jets for a 2026 NFL Draft pick

We wrote about Haason Reddick and the Eagles, 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 is one of four players with 50+ sacks since 2020.

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 or trade Reddick, saving the Eagles $11 million after the dead money allotment.

Here’s an instant trade analysis with the move set to be completed.

Report: Eagles move Haason Reddick’s $1M roster bonus back to April 1

With the Philadelphia looking for a trade partner for Haason Reddick, the Eagles have moved back his roster bonus from March 15 to April 1

The Eagles permitted Haason Reddick to seek a trade before the new league year began, and with Howie Roseman looking for a willing partner, they’ve adjusted an off-season pay date.

Reddick was due a $1 million roster bonus on March 15, but according to Jeremy Fowler, Philadelphia’s front office and Reddick have agreed to push back that payment until his contract problem can be resolved.

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.

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.

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.

How can the Eagles maximize their salary cap space this offseason?

We’re looking at several different ways the Philadelphia Eagles can best maximize their salary cap space during the 2024 NFL offseason

The 2024 NFL offseason is underway for Philadelphia, and the Eagles’ focus will shift to reshaping the roster to fit two new coordinators on both sides of the ball.

The 2024 cap is expected to exceed $240 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is expected to have roughly $20,284,984 in cap space.

The Birds are set to have 20 pending free agents, and with another likely retool schedule on defense, the organization could conjure up a scheme for more flexibility.

According to Over the Cap’s potential transaction chart, the Eagles can easily create $35.4 million in cap space by making these five moves.

With the new league year fast approaching, we’re looking at the multiple ways Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman can create and manipulate salary cap space.

Haason Reddick on his future: I did not ask to be traded, Philadelphia is home

Eagles pass rusher Haason Reddick says Philadelphia is home, and he did not request a trade ahead of NFL free agency

The Haason Reddick era in Philadelphia could end shortly, as the All-Pro pass rusher has been permitted to seek a trade ahead of the new league year.

Reddick finished the 2023 season 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.

Like Darius Slay last offseason, Reddick told Jordan Schultz that he did not request a trade.

With the Super Bowl completed and offseason business set to pick up, here are four takeaways from Reddick’s rebuttal.
