Eagles EDGE Haason Reddick Receives Permission to Seek a Trade

He needs a special position to really be effective. Not every defense can use him well.

But he did fuck up Purdy. Just needed one offensive play to get the trophy here and he didn't get it.

$20M+ cap hit and he needs to fit into the right scheme. Who wants him + giving up assets

Skins line 1, raiders line 2. Do we need 3?

Raiders seem like the desperate choice

This is a renegotiation. Reddick will get an extension that takes him through 2026

He would be awesome....

Reddick is a great pass rusher who has some scheme limitations. I doubt anyone trades for him because of the cost involved, picks as well as cap space.

The cap problem is with Philly because of how Howie structured it. A new team gets a good pass rusher for one year at $18M. That's pretty marketable if the draft compensation isn't all that much. If he plays out the string in Philly however, it's one year left at a total of $36M in cap hit because all of the dead money still yet to hit the cap.

He will restructure in order to get more up front money. My guess is that he gets something like 3 years 60-70 million so like a 2 year extension.

Does he not like Fangio's scheme or is this just a negotiating tactic?

 

[Iggloo]

He wanted a new deal before the start of this past season, and didn't get it. So this has been simmering a while.

He did clearly outplay his contract and is a top 5 pass rusher in the NFL in terms of sacks. On the other hand, I do think his scheme limitations are an issue. He's basically just a pure pass rushing specialist. He is a liability in coverage and in the Fangio scheme, he is an outside LB in a hybrid scheme who gets a little predictable when he rushes every down and the defensive alignment can be exploited IMO.

So I can see the Eagles trading him unfortunately if a good deal came along.

It’s unlikely they trade him. You’re never getting value back for a player of his magnitude.

This seems like a contract ploy to get a better one. I don't see them letting him leave Philly.

They really can’t afford to. He’s pretty much the only established edge they have moving to a 3-4 from a 4-3 scheme. The other starting DE from last year fits the 3-4 better as a 5 tech than he does an OLB in Sweat.

He only cost money. Any pick you get for him is an extra get. This is how you can use free agency to manipulate your assets. Howie is a genius.

Remember a lot of Bears fans saying similar with Roquan....Sometimes we have a bead as fans...Sometimes not.

That’s a silly projection. Most teams salary structure isn’t going to entail paying a LB 10-12 million per year. The Eagles blue print is pretty well established. They pay pass rushers. They have little waiting in the wings and will have to pay them. This exact tactic was used last year with the same exact wording from Ian Rapport for Darius Slay who resigned with the Eagles. Roseman likely offered a new contract and he’s balking at the numbers. This is Roseman saying “Don’t believe me on your market? Go see what it is and then we can talk again”.

I think what @fightinfunbags is saying is what the Eagles are thinking here, that they can let him seek a trade and thus find out what his market value is, which could help them renegotiate his deal. But there is always the risk that it doesn't work and he just holds out or something. There were some weird vibes at the end of the season in Philly and I also wonder if certain players may get dealt for locker room chemistry issues.
