The New York Jets had a void to fill on their defensive line following edge rusher Bryce Huff's departure. And the team appeared to address the hole in their pass rush by pulling off a trade with the team Huff signed a three-year contract with in mid-March — the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles reportedly traded Reddick to the Jets Friday. The Jets sent a conditional 2026 third-round draft pick to the Eagles in exchange for Reddick.
Reddick's 50½ sacks over the last four seasons are the fourth most in the NFL. Reddick is entering the final year of his current deal, but his representatives are expected to negotiate a new long-term contract with the Jets before the 2024 season kicks off. This latest move by the Jets shows the team is trying to bolster its roster ahead of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' second season. The Jets also added eight-time All-Pro offensive lineman Tyron Smith and veteran offensive tackle Morgan Moses to the roster this offseason as part of the team's win-now approach.
