In a surprising move, the Philadelphia Eagles have traded edge rusher Haason Reddick to the New York Jets for a conditional third-round pick, which has the potential to become a second-round pick, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media. The Jets are expected to extend Reddick's contract, while also taking on a hefty portion of his compensation for 2024.

This trade comes after Reddick, 29, agreed to push back a $1 million roster bonus to April 1, giving the Eagles more time to find a suitable trade partner. The negotiations between the two teams reached a conclusion on Friday, with the Eagles ultimately deciding to part ways with the talented defensive player.

While the details of the conditional pick have not been disclosed, it highlights the value the Jets place on Reddick's abilities as an edge rusher. The Eagles, on the other hand, will pay the $1 million roster bonus as part of the deal.

This trade became feasible for the Eagles due to their recent acquisition of former Jets edge rusher Bryce Huff during free agency. With the addition of Huff and the emergence of other defensive assets, the Eagles felt comfortable parting ways with Reddick.

During his two seasons in Philadelphia, Reddick started every game and showcased his prowess with 27 sacks and two Pro Bowl appearances. Impressively, Reddick has recorded double-digit sacks for four consecutive seasons, further underscoring his impact on the field.

Prior to his time in Philadelphia, Reddick spent four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and one season with the Carolina Panthers. His consistent performance and proven track record make him a valuable asset for any team.

As the Jets prepare to extend Reddick's contract and incorporate him into their defensive unit, they are taking on $14.5 million of his compensation for the 2024 season, as reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Media.

The trade between the Eagles and the Jets signals a new chapter for Haason Reddick, as he joins a new team in pursuit of continuing his disruptive presence on the field. Conversely, the Eagles will turn their attention to refining their roster and capitalizing on further opportunities in the offseason.
