Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick is from a Philadelphia suburb and went to Temple. He lives and breathes Philly, but it appears inevitable the Eagles will trade him at some point this offseason. We break it all down in today’s Eagles news.

Haason Reddick Trade Speculation
Philadelphia is reportedly shopping the seven-year pro, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Reddick has 410 tackles and 58 sacks during that span. He’s had sack totals of 11 or more during the past four seasons of his career and has carved out his spot among the league’s best pass rushers.
Pro Football Network’s Lorenzo Reyna has six different suitors for the two-time Pro Bowler. Among them are the Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals (his former team), Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, and Los Angeles Rams.
Here’s Reyna’s explanation for a potential return to Arizona:
“His career began in Arizona in 2017,” Reyna wrote. “It’s also the place where he delivered his first double-digit sack season of 12.5 in 2020. And the Cardinals have a head coach he’s awfully familiar with: Jonathan Gannon, his former Eagles defensive coordinator.
“Reddick hit his most success with Gannon unleashing him on the edge, producing a career-best 16 sacks during the run to the NFC title in 2022. With Arizona lacking a consistent pass rusher, Arizona represents itself as a strong destination for Reddick.”
