Starting the offseason with the Philadelphia Eagles, the pass rusher refused to play without an extension. Rather than hand out a long-term deal, Philadelphia traded him to the New York Jets shortly after the start of free agency. New York, however, also didn&#8217;t extend him, as the team believed he&#8217;d be willing to play under his current deal.<\/p>\n<p>This turned out to not be the case, as the star pass rusher missed the offseason programs and the first seven games of the season while holding out for a new deal. While he never got his contract extension, Haason Reddick did return for the season&#8217;s final 10 games. Playing on an underperforming New York Jets team, the edge defender finished the season with one sack, 14 tackles, two tackles-f0r-loss, three quarterback hits, and a <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/nfl\/grades\/position\/ed\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">53.5 PFF grade<\/a>, the 104th-best mark of 118 eligible players.<\/p>\n<p>Haason Reddick originally entered the league as a first-round pick in the 2017 <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-draft\/\" target=\"_self\">NFL Draft<\/a>. Selected by the Arizona Cardinals, the Temple product took some time to establish himself as a legitimate pass-rushing threat. After three unremarkable seasons, Reddick broke out with a 12.5-sack season in 2020. The Carolina Panthers signed him to a one-year, prove-it deal, and Reddick responded with an 11-sack season.<\/p>\n<p>Following this impressive campaign, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Haason Reddick to a three-year contract. He immediately rewarded this faith, recording 16 sacks in 2022 and 11 sacks in 2023 while making the Pro Bowl in both seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Since signing his rookie contract, Haason Reddick has recorded 59 sacks in 124 games (83 starts).<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Corey Perrine &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran edge defender Haason Reddick has signed a new contract.
