It wasn&#8217;t too long before the Jets made a move to trade for the star pass rusher from the Eagles, he has one last year on his contract but he&#8217;s eager to receive an extension. Reddick is digging heels in this situation and it doesn&#8217;t look like it&#8217;ll be a good one, it shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone if he ends up on another roster.<\/p>\n<p>However, New York could play hardball by forcing him to play in the final year of his contract. It won&#8217;t be easy for a team already giving up so much to get Reddick in return to help the defense. They could offer him a new alternating contract but the Jets hold the leverage in these talks since Reddick is just arriving on the team and hasn&#8217;t been playing for New York. Reddick knows the Jets need him since losing defensive lineman <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/07\/18\/eagles-roster-3-players-that-need-to-breakout\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Bryce Huff<\/a> and trading away John Franklin-Myers.<\/p>\n<p>The pass rusher is still one of the best in the league so the Jets are on the clock to come up with a solution. A trade seems likely so the Baltimore Ravens look to be the right fit he would probably agree to for his one-year chance on his current contract. This comes after even the Jets offered him a new deal but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/report-jets-offered-haason-reddick-a-new-deal-before-trade-but-he-declined#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20%5BJets%5D%20made%20Haason,to%20see%20him%20perform%20first.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reddick is declining<\/a>. Baltimore has one of the strongest defensive linebackers with Kyle Van Noy and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/11\/08\/nfl-rumors-bill-belichick-roquan-smith-kyler-murray\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Roquan Smith<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, Reddick&#8217;s addition could help Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo on the other side.<\/p>\n<h2>Two-Time Pro Bowler Haason Reddick Holding Out, Ravens Could Be Favorites<\/h2>\n<h3>Other Potential Trade Fits<\/h3>\n<h4>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h4>\n<p>Reddick may as well start ring chasing at this point if nothing satisfies him in terms of a new contract. It would be safe for the Chiefs to take a gamble on Reddick with already a youth linebacker corps. Nick Bolton, Drue Tranquill and Leo Chenal all have big shoes to fill this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/03\/23\/kansas-city-chiefs-trade-ljarius-sneed-tennessee-titans\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">L&#8217;Jarius Sneed<\/a> was their best man to be consistent with pressuring the quarterbacks even though he was just a cornerback.<\/p>\n<p>Reddick is their next star who could evolve this defense with superstar Chris Jones returning on a mega contract.<\/p>\n<h4>Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n<p>This would unlikely happen but a scenario could happen where a trade involving Reddick and Joey Bosa may change the landscape of this league. Bosa is already accepting a new contract restructure but it doesn&#8217;t mean a guarantee to stay on the team beyond this upcoming season. However, the Chargers could take a gamble on Reddick if the team feels like <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2022\/09\/12\/khalil-mack-against-las-vegas-raiders\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Khalil Mack<\/a> or Bosa are not producing like they have been before. Jim Harbaugh wants a strong running game this season but he wants this team to have a hard nose-tackle football so that includes having an explosive defense.<\/p>\n<h4>Dallas Cowboys<\/h4>\n<p>If any team needs help or insurance, it&#8217;s the Dallas Cowboys. America&#8217;s team has been looking like they&#8217;re in a slump this offseason so their chances at a Super Bowl ring are low. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/03\/13\/eric-kendricks-signs-contract-with-los-angeles-chargers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Eric Kendricks<\/a> is a good start to replace Leighton Vander-Esch but they need someone long-term. The Cowboys are going to have to get creative trading for Reddick but that&#8217;s their permanent solution to get pressure on future quarterbacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is two-time Pro Bowler Linebacker, Haason Reddick holding out from training camp but the Baltimore Ravens could trade for him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4795,"featured_media":182884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,10,19,16,18,6,21],"tags":[6759,7642,7811,1866,358,9979,7638,3627],"class_list":["post-182875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-ravens","category-cowboys","category-chiefs","category-chargers","category-jets","category-eagles","tag-bryce-huff","tag-chargers-featured","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-haason-reddick","tag-khalil-mack","tag-ljarius-sneed","tag-ravens-featured","tag-roquan-smith"],"modified_by":"Anthony Palacios","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4795"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
