Haason Reddick is heading to New York after the Philadelphia Eagles traded the edge-rusher to the Jets for a conditional 2026 third-round pick that could be a second, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The third-round pick would become a second if Reddick has 67.5 percent of playing time and has 10 or more sacks, Schefter reported.
Reddick gives New York a nice boost on the outside. Last season, he recorded 38 tackles and 11 sacks for the Eagles.
Here's a look at the Jets' updated defensive depth chart with the addition of Reddick:
- LDE: John Franklin-Myers, Will McDonald IV
- LDT: Javon Kinlaw, Leki Fotu, Bruce Hector, Tanzel Smart, Manny Jones
- RDT: Quinnen Williams, Solomon Thomas, Jalyn Holmes, Marquiss Spencer
- RDE Jermaine Johnson, Michael Clemons
- WLB: Haason Reddick, Jamien Sherwood, Marcelino McCrary-Ball
- MLB: CJ Mosley, Chazz Surratt
- SLB: Quincy Williams, Zaire Barnes
- LCB: Sauce Gardner, Isaiah Oliver, Tae Hayes
- SS: Chuck Clark
- FS: Tony Adams, Jarrick Bernard-Converse
- RCB: DJ Reed, Michael Carter II, Brandin Echols
Per OverTheCap, the Jets had just $9.6 million in cap space prior to acquiring Reddick.
The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt and Dianna Russini wrote that Gang Green will "likely have to restructure some contracts to clear more space to both fit Reddick into their cap sheet and to have enough room to operate the rest of the offseason."
The Jets had some bright spots on defense in 2023, giving up just 4.6 yards per play and forcing 27 turnovers, but there were certainly some holes to be filled, especially in the team's run defense. New York gave up the eighth-most rushing yards last season, and Reddick could help improve that number this year.
The 29-year-old had a career-high 16 sacks in 2022 and led the league in forced fumbles with five. If he brings that defensive dominance to New York, it should fare well for the Jets.
New York is coming off a 7-10 season that saw it miss the playoffs for a 13th consecutive year. The season was derailed early on when quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles in the first game, and the Jets could never find consistency without him.
With a healthy Rodgers and the addition of Reddick in 2024, New York could finally get back into the playoffs after a dreadful drought.
