Last week, Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick agreed to postpone his $1 million roster bonus until April 1, giving the team more time to find a trade partner. On Friday, the Eagles reached an agreement to trade Reddick to the Jets for a conditional third-round pick that has the potential to become a second-round pick.
Reddick’s move to New York comes after he spent two seasons with the Eagles and earned 27 sacks and two Pro Bowl selections during that time. He has recorded double-digit sack totals for four consecutive seasons, including his two years in Philadelphia. Prior to his time in Philadelphia, Reddick spent four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and one season with the Carolina Panthers.
The Jets are expected to extend Reddickâs contract and will take on $14.5 million of his compensation for the 2024 season, which is the final year of his current deal. The Eagles will still be responsible for paying the $1 million roster bonus as part of the trade agreement.
The acquisition of former Jets edge rusher Bryce Huff in free agency made room for this move, allowing the Eagles to trade away Reddick without sacrificing any valuable roster spots.
