The Philadelphia Eagles will trade edge rusher Haason Reddick to the New York Jets in exchange for a conditional 2026 third-round pick, which could become a second-round pick based on Reddick’s performance.
Trade: Eagles are sending edge-rusher Haason Reddick to the New York Jets for a conditional 2026 third-round pick that could be a second, sources tell ESPN.
The 2026 pick becomes a 2nd if Reddick has 67.5% playtime this season and has 10 or more sacks. If not, it’s a 2023 third pic.twitter.com/AcjiqZE2L4

Reddick, a native of Camden and a former Temple college football player, is seeking a new contract and is expected to sign with the Jets after the trade. He performed exceptionally well for the Eagles but became the highest-paid player on the roster in 2024, leading to the trade.
The Jets have secured a valuable asset in Reddick, who will fill the void left by Bryce Huff. Reddick has excelled as a pass rusher, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. The trade aligns with the Jets’ goal of winning a Super Bowl with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Reddick’s departure may impact the Eagles’ pass rush, which struggled in the previous season. Reddick, who had a career-high 16.0 sacks in 2022 and 11.0 sacks in 2023, will be playing close to his college, Temple University.
The Jets made it clear that finding a replacement for Reddick was a priority for them, leading them to pursue Jadeveon Clowney and Shaquil Barrett. However, they ultimately traded for the disgruntled Reddick, believing him to be a more complete pass rusher.
The Eagles, on the other hand, acquired Bryce Huff, a younger talent, and are confident that he will bring more upside than Reddick.
Both teams had to consider their salary cap situations, with the Jets likely needing to restructure contracts to fit Reddick in. This trade will have a significant impact on both teams’ defenses.
Fans reacted as follows.
So Eagles traded away Reddick for Bryce Huff essentially 🤔

@Haason7Reddick you’re forever an Eagle and a fellow owl, wish you could have stayed

The Eagles might have undervalued Reddick's potential impact by setting conditions that could potentially lead to a higher draft pick for the Jets.

Not the Eagles getting Bryce Huff (who’s basically younger Hasson Reddick) from the Jets just to send them back Hasson Reddick who they have to pay a big contract to😂

Writing was on the wall but this still sucks. I know he had a “down” year last year for his standards and maybe that’ll be a trend for the rest of his career, but that 2022 season man… Best defensive player I’ve seen on the Eagles since Dawk
— FORTUNE (@Obieze_Fortune) March 29, 2024
They replaced him with Huff due to 1. Age 2. Money(he’s gonna want a mega deal). With the eagles having backend loaded contracts (ex. AJ brown 12mil this year and 41mil in two years) they simply cannot afford to give him a mega deal.

I hate to admit it but this was a great pickup in an area of need… now go get a WR 😂
