It seems like resolution might finally be around the corner when it comes to the Haason Reddick saga. The New York Jets have reportedly granted the veteran edge rusher, who recently hired Drew Rosenhaus after being dropped by his former agency, permission to seek a trade.
Why is this news relevant to the Philadelphia Eagles? Well, as a reminder, the Birds are not permitted to trade for Reddick.
But Reddick’s potential new landing spot is still very much of interest as it relates to the conditional draft pick compensation the Eagles received from the Jets.
Currently, the Eagles are only set to get the Jets’ 2026 second-round pick if Reddick meets the following two conditions: 1) 10 sacks … AND … 2) 67.5% of defensive snaps played. Otherwise, the Eagles will receive the Jets’ 2026 third-round pick.
However, according to Josina Anderson, the Eagles will automatically receive the Jets’ 2026 second-round pick if Reddick gets traded to an NFC team.
So, that’s good news!
Unless, of course, Reddick is traded to an NFC team that’s a threat to the Eagles’ contending chances.
On that front, there’s some thought that the Detroit Lions could be interested in Reddick after losing Aidan Hutchinson to a season-ending injury. That’d be a really nice replacement option for them.
But perhaps Reddick will end up elsewhere. The Jets might not want to trade him to the NFC knowing that they’ll be giving up their 2026 second-round pick instead of their third.
Or maybe he just signs an extension and stays in New York? Probably not.
However it shakes out, the Reddick situation bears monitoring.
