Haason Reddick Trade Details: Dynamic Eagles Pass Rusher on the Move to New York Jets
It’s been a long time coming, with Reddick being granted permission to seek a trade earlier this offseason. Now, the Eagles have officially traded Reddick to the Jets in return for draft capital. The Jets will send the Eagles a 2026 conditional third-round pick. The pick will become a second-rounder if Reddick plays 67.5% of the snaps and has 10 or more sacks.
The Jets will likely give Reddick a new deal sometime before the season, but there is no immediate deal in place. The Eagles have already replaced Reddick, having signed Bryce Huff in free agency.

Saquon Barkley Reveals Which Team First Caught His Attention
Arguably the crown jewel of the Eagles’ 2024 free agency class was running back Saquon Barkley, who they signed away from the rivaled New York Giants. However, the Eagles weren’t the first team Barkley looked at. According to Barkley himself, it was the Houston Texans he was considering.
“Probably the team that had my first interest was Houston. I got to communicate with C.J. [Stroud] and a couple of those boys, but this was before when you could actually put offers on the table and talk to teams,” Barkley said on the New Heights podcast.
Ultimately, though, Barkley signed with the Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million deal.
