Joe Douglas waves the magic trade wand again during the offseason—the New York Jets trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to break the news. The Jets are sending a conditional third-round pick in 2026 to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for edge rusher Haason Reddick.

Eagles, Jets Agree to Haason Reddick Trade
In essence, the deal is Bryce Huff and the 2026 third-round pick for Reddick, because the Eagles signed the former Jet during the first wave of free agency.
According to Jason Fitzgerald, the Eagles are going to take on the roster bonus. Also the Eagles are likely to restructure the contract for the Jets.
As a result, the Eagles will take on a dead cap hit of $21.515 million. The Jets will incur a cap hit of $4.568 million and a dead cap hit in 2025 of $10.432 million (if no extension is reached).
Many Jets fans have called Douglas “Trader Joe”. With the latest Jets trade, he continues to earn that deserved nickname.
Douglas’s trades include:
- Jamal Adams for picks that turned into Garrett Wilson and Alijah Vera-Tucker
- Sam Darnold — essentially — for Breece Hall
- Finally, this trade
This concludes the pre-draft offseason for the Jets, most likely. It also sets them up for a lot of offensive picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
If Douglas can hit in another draft, the Jets could be set up for a good season in 2024. Many fans were upset that the Jets couldn’t re-sign Bruce Huff at the beginning of free agency. However, things are rapidly changing for the Jets. Finally, those things may end the long playoff drought. Time will tell on that one, but it seems like it will.
