Johnathan Walker:Jets land star pass rusher Haason Reddick in trade with Eagles, marking latest splashy move

Two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick is Johnathan Walkeron his way to the Big Apple.

The Philadelphia Eagles are trading Reddick to the New York Jets for a conditional 2026 third-round pick that could become a second-round selection, a person with knowledge of the trade told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. The pick is elevated to a second-round selection if Reddick plays at least 67.5% of this season and has 10 or more sacks.

Reddick, who is entering the final year of his contract, is seeking a contract extension.

The Eagles signed former Jets edge rusher Bryce Huff in free agency and restructured Josh Sweat's contract to keep the defensive end with the team.

Reddick was Philadelphia’s most productive pass rusher in his two-year tenure with the organization, leading the team in sacks in each of the last two campaigns. He totaled 87 tackles, 27 sacks and 24 tackles for loss in 34 regular-season games.

The Eagles signed Reddick in 2022 after the pass rusher spent one season with the Carolina Panthers. Reddick played his first four years for the Arizona Cardinals.

Reddick has 52 sacks over the past five seasons, the fifth most of any player in that span.

Reddick’s pass-rushing ability is a major boon for an already talented Jets defense. He joins a defensive front that already includes Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. The Jets had the NFL’s No. 3 ranked defense in 2023.

The Jets have had an active offseason as the team tries to earn a playoff berth for the first time since the 2010 season, the longest active postseason drought in the NFL. Gang Green’s big offseason additions includes left tackle Tyron Smith, right tackle Morgan Moses, offensive guard John Simpson, defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, wide receiver Mike Williams and now Reddick.
