Eagles’ valuable edge rusher, Haason Reddick, finds himself caught up in an unexpected situation.
Though he had a $1 million roster bonus due on March 15, it remains unpaid. Adding to the suspense, the Eagles have moved the deadline to pay this bonus to April 1st.

This delay, disclosed by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, raises intriguing questions. Did the Eagles intentionally buy this time to search for a trade partner?
As we know, these moves in the NFL can only be made if a player gives consent, suggesting his openness towards a trade.
Numerous teams have reportedly engaged in discussions about trading for Reddick. Yet, it is uncertain whether these teams are willing to accept his current contract.
The stakes appear high, with the new team enduring a cap hit of more than $15 million. Reddick, the Pro Bowl participant, has an impressive history on the field.
Being a player who hasn’t missed a single game in the past season and delivering double-digit sacks for four consecutive seasons, Reddick is undeniably a prized asset to any defense team.
The Eagles continue to play the waiting game as Reddick’s bonus payment deadline approaches. Preferably a trade deal gets finalized before April 1.
