INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 08: Haason Reddick #7 of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrates his sack of Matthew Stafford #9 of the Los Angeles Rams on fourth down, late during the fourth quarter in a 23-14 win over the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on October 08, 2023 in Inglewood, California.

Over the past two seasons, only two players have more sacks than Haason Reddick. Myles Garret and Nick Bosa. He was the only Eagles player consistently able to get to the QB for them last season. But now his time here could be at the end. According to Ian Rapoport, The Eagles gave Haason Reddick permission to seek a trade.

His team-friendly became a big story at one point last off-season. His $15 Million AAV is currently 17th among edge rushers. And many assumed that number would eventually be an issue. To Reddick’s credit, it did not become one during the season. But after his 4th straight double-digit sack season, it appears he wants to be paid what he is worth. And at least for now, the Eagles are letting him shop around to see what other teams would be willing to pay him.

Does this guarantee he will be traded? Not necessarily. Darius Slay was in the same situation last season. The Eagles granted him permission to seek a trade. For a while, it seemed like he was done as an Eagle. He eventually returned with a new deal. So the same thing could happen for the Reddick. But yesterday nobody even considered a Reddick trade.  Not it is a real possibility.

Haason Reddick will turn 30 in Spetember. So he likely still has a lot of good football ahead of him. But besides the sacks, last season was a bit of a down year for him. His tackles were a new career low, and he didn’t force a single fumble. Something he became known for in past seasons.

Still, losing your primary pass rusher is not exactly the way you want to see the Eagles start this off-season. Edge Rusher was one of the few spots the Eagles didn’t have a need. But if they do trade Reddick, the defense will pretty much need a full overhaul going into 2024. They have Nolan Smith waiting in the wings. But he did not show enough his rookie season for the team to feel comfortable he is ready to fill Reddick’s shoes.
