Haason Reddick’s future with the Philadelphia Eagles is up for debate after the organization granted the outstanding pass rusher permission to pursue a trade.
Reddick seems hesitant to commit to a lucrative long-term agreement with Philadelphia.
Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report suggested three moves the Eagles might consider to make a “splash” before the 2024 NFL Draft. According to one trade suggestion, Philadelphia would give the No. 30 overall choice in the first round to the Baltimore Ravens in return for Reddick.
In an article titled “Eagles’ Top Hypothetical Trades to Make Splash in 2024 NFL Draft,” published on March 27, 2024, Ballentine stated, “The Eagles have made it fairly obvious that trading Reddick before or during the draft is a move they are considering.” “According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, they pushed back his $1 million roster bonus to April 1.
In 2024, Reddick is expected to have a substantial $21.8 million cap hit. This is the last year of a three-year, forty-five million dollar contract. For his next contract, Spotrac forecasts Reddick’s market value to be around $47.4 million for three years.
This transaction with the Ravens makes a lot of sense financially. The Eagles trade a first-round pick on a rookie deal that benefits the team for a large contract. Things get trickier if you think of this as a player for player transaction.
Eagles Rumors: The Falcons & Cardinals Are Potential Contenders for a Hasson Reddick Trade
It remains to be seen what Reddick’s trade value will be if the Eagles strike a deal. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals are two teams to watch as potential trade destinations for Reddick.
“The expectation leaguewide is that he is moved at some point,” Fowler noted in a March 23 edition of “SportsCenter,” via Bleacher Report’s Adam Wells. “The Eagles went and spent on Bryce Huff, they re-signed Josh Sweat, so they have their two pass rushers.
It seems like Reddick is the odd man out. He does desire a new contract, but as a premier player, he ought to be worth something. In addition to the draft capital required to acquire him, he wants a new contract. Given that Jonathan Gannon played with him in Philadelphia two years ago, Arizona might be a squad to keep an eye on, said Fowler.
“They produced well as a team. Arizona requires pass rushers. Atlanta to some extent, therefore teams ought to be considered.
