Jets acquiring edge Haason Reddick from Eagles

The Jets find their new veteran pass-rusher, ironically from the team Bryce Huff signed with.

The Jets have found their veteran pass-rusher to help replace Bryce Huff. Ironically, it’s from the team Huff signed with. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Jets are acquiring Haason Reddick from the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Jets are sending the Eagles a conditional third-round pick in 2026 that can become a second. The pick improves if Reddick plays at least 67.5 percent of the defensive snaps and records at least ten sacks this season.

Reddick has hit double-digit sacks in each of the last four seasons. Here are those sack numbers:

2023: 11
2022: 16
2021: 11
2020: 12.5

Reddick has also played at least 70 percent of the snaps in each of those seasons with three teams (Eagles, Panthers, Cardinals).

Reddick was entering the final season of his three-year deal he signed with Philadelphia before the 2022 season. The Jets will pay Reddick $14.5 million this season, including a $14.25 million base salary and a $250,000 workout bonus. The Eagles will pay Reddick his $1 million roster bonus that is due on Monday. It is possible, and perhaps likely, the Jets give Reddick a new contract.

Reddick gets the Jets’ pass-rush rotation back into better shape after losing Huff. Reddick joins Jermaine Johnson, Will McDonald, John Franklin-Myers and Micheal Clemons among the edge rotation.

Seven things we learned from the Eagles at NFL owners meetings in Orlando

We’re looking at seven Philadelphia Eagles related takeaways and analysis from the NFL owners meetings in Orlando

The Eagles and 31 other teams just wrapped up the NFL owner’s meetings in Orlando, Florida, and the media sessions featuring owners, general managers, and head coaches were the week’s highlight.

Longtime Philadelphia owner Jeffrey Lurie held his annual State of the Organization address. In contrast, GM Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni had 30-minute question-and-answer sessions with NFL media.

The topics at hand included Haason Reddick, Jalen Hurts, Kellen Moore, Vic Fangio, the addition of Saquon Barkley, and more.

With less than one month until the NFL draft, we’re looking at takeaways from all three media sessions and how they’ll impact the 2024 season.

15 biggest salary cap hits for the Eagles in 2024 after first wave of NFL free agency

We’re looking at the 15 biggest cap hits for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024 after the first wave of NFL free agency

Change is always good for the soul, and after losing six of their final seven games, including a wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, Philadelphia has undergone a dramatic reconstruction that could pay off with championship dividends.

Offensive coordinators Brian Johnson (Commanders) and Sean Desai (Rams) have left, replaced by Vic Fangio (DC) and Kellen Moore (OC).

The Eagles have retooled their roster on both sides of the football after inking DE Bryce Huff, RB Saquon Barkley, OLB Zach Baun, OL Matt Hennessy, WR DeVante Parker, S/CB C.J. Gardner-Johnson, LB Devin White, LB Oren Burks, DT PJ Mustipher, WR Parris Campbell, and CB Tyler Hall to deals during the first wave.

Philadelphia then traded for quarterback Kenny Pickett while extending Landon Dickerson and Jake Elliott. 

Philadelphia currently has about  $33,657,986 in cap space per Over The Cap, and they’re spending about $100+ million plus on both sides of the football.

The Eagles also have a Haason Reddick dilemma that’ll be resolved in the next week or more.

The biggest salary cap hits have changed, with Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox counting until they’re officially released on June 1.

With the first wave of free agency completed, we’re taking an updated look at the 15 biggest salary cap hits for the Eagles, according to Over The Cap.

We’re looking at where the Philadelphia Eagles rank in positional spending at each position after the first wave of NFL free agency

The Eagles have retooled their roster on both sides of the football after inking DE Bryce Huff, RB Saquon Barkley, OLB Zach Baun, OL Matt Hennessy, WR DeVante Parker, S/CB C.J.

Philadelphia currently has about  $33,657,986 in cap space per Over The Cap, and they’re spending about $100+ million plus on both sides of the football.  The offensive line and edge rusher positions carry the most significant cap space.

Overall positional spending has changed tremendously since Jalen Hurts signed a massive five-year, $255 million contract extension last spring.

This makes him among the four highest-paid players on average in NFL history.

The Eagles will again be a Super Bowl favorite in the NFC and have one of the most talented rosters despite being 17th in average positional spending.

Thanks to Over The Cap, here’s where Philadelphia sits in positional spending on both sides of the ball ahead of the season opener.

Updated status of every Eagles free agent after first wave of free agency

We’re looking at the status of every Philadelphia Eagles free agent after the first wave of NFL free agency signings

The offseason is in full swing, particularly for the Philadelphia Eagles, who have already made several roster and coaching moves this spring. Eagles GM Howie Roseman started free agency with a bang, agreeing to deals with Saquon Barkley (RB) and Bryce Huff (DE) while retaining Josh Sweat and punter Braden Mann. Philadelphia then signed Landon Dickerson to a monster contract extension and C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a three-year deal. The Eagles have been in nonstop action so far, and we’re taking an updated look at the current status of Philadelphia’s initial group of free agents.

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.

Takeaways and observations from Eagles restructuring Josh Sweat’s contract

We’re looking at takeaways and observations from the Philadelphia Eagles agreeing to a contract restructure with pass rusher Josh Sweat

The Eagles’ pass rotation will be much improved after the addition of Bryce Huff, but they’ll retain one of their own after agreeing to a restructured contract with pass rusher Josh Sweat.

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

With details of the restructure coming in, we’re looking at takeaways and observations.

Eagles restructure Josh Sweat’s contract to create extra cap space

The Philadelphia Eagles will hold on to Josh Sweat after he agreed to a restructured contract

The Eagles’ pass rotation will be much improved after the addition of Bryce Huff, but they’ll retain one of their own after agreeing to a restructured contract with pass rusher Josh Sweat.

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 the 2022 season.

Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman may have had 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 was entering a contract year with a base salary of just over $1 million and a cap hit of just over $9 million.

He was set to count over $21 million against the 2025 salary cap, and some wonder if 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.

Zack Baun agrees to a prove-it deal with the Philadelphia Eagles

Zack Baun is leaving New Orleans for the Eagles. Baun should be given a larger sample size in Philadelphia to show he can be a pass rusher

Zack Baun has found a new home with the Philadelphia Eagles, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who reports that Baun has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Philly. He’ll have an opportunity to show what he can do from a position of strength and possibly earn a bigger contract.

It’s hard to blame Baun’s lack of production with the New Orleans Saints on the player. He was slotted into the strongside linebacker role that New Orleans doesn’t utilize often while running so much nickel and dime personnel. Baun carved out a greater role late last year after resuming the pass-rush specialist role he played in college at Wisconsin, which the Saints never really embraced.

That is where Baun found his most success. His slighter frame may have created hesitancy for New Orleans to use him that way, but he never picked up the coverage skills that they tried to coach him. Baun showed his pass rush ability from college could translate to the NFL despite his size (6-foot-3, 225 pounds). The Eagles will likely use him in that capacity as they retool their defensive line in the wake of Fletcher Cox’s retirement and trade talks centering on both Josh Sweat and Haason Reddick, with Bryce Huff expected to sign a lucrative free agent contract of his own at the start of the new league year. Baun’s one-year deal allows him to show what he can do with a larger sample size of what he does best, rush the passer.
