FILE – Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Haason Reddick reacts after sacking Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during the first half of an NFL football game Dec. 10, 2023, in Arlington, Texas. The New York Jets have acquired two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Reddick from the Eagles for a conditional third-round pick in 2026, a person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press on Friday, March 29.
“I’m focused on the guys who are here and Haason is a pro,” Saleh said. “He’s been in this league a while. He’s produced at a very high level for a long time. He’s got his routine and if it makes people feel better, we know where he’s at, we know what he’s doing and we know he’s working his tail off to get where he needs to get you to have a productive ’24 season.”
The 29-year-old’s desire for a new contract was well known by Jets general manager Joe Douglas upon trading for him and it is understandable as to why Reddick wants a new deal. He carries a $15 million cap hit in 2024, which ranks 14th among all edge rushers in the NFL, per Such a philosophy has to change, though, considering what the Jets have invested in Reddick. Not only did they give up a third-rounder, but they lost edge rusher Bryce Huff in free agency and traded John Franklin-Myers to the Denver Broncos. That means Reddick is projected to be an every-down back with Gang Green.
