Eagles trading pass rusher Haason Reddick to Jets for conditional 2026 third-round pick

As they load up for Year 2 with Aaron Rodgers, the Jets are sparing no expense, taking a big swing on a significant trade Friday.

New York is acquiring edge rusher Haason Reddick from the Philadelphia Eagles, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

The Jets are sending a conditional 2026 third-round pick for Reddick, which can change if he reaches 67.5% of playing time and at least 10 sacks, Rapoport added. New York will take on $14.5 million of Reddick's total compensation for 2024 (the final year of his existing contract), while the Eagles account for Reddick's $1 million roster bonus that was due earlier in March, per NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo.

Consider it a swap of edge-rushing talent, if you will. Weeks after pass-rushing specialist Bryce Huff left the Jets for a three-year, $51.1 million deal with the Eagles, the two teams have struck a deal to send Reddick to New York, where the Jets are all in on 2024.

Reddick's compensation has been a sticking point for the Eagles dating back to early February, when Philadelphia gave Reddick permission to seek a trade. 2024 is also shaping up as the third straight season in which the Eagles will embark upon their football journey with a new defensive coordinator, with veteran coach Vic Fangio replacing Sean Desai, who was fired following a nightmarish regression in 2023. The combined factors enticed the Eagles to shop Reddick, and on Friday, they found a business partner.

Reddick posted quality numbers in 2023, recording 11 sacks and 38 tackles (13 for loss), earning a second straight trip to the Pro Bowl. He wasn't quite the same game-changing force as he was in the prior year, though, and after enjoying quality production from Reddick at an incredibly affordable rate
