Jets’ Haason Reddick isn’t talking, but a ‘little bird’ drops a bombshell for NFL insider

Three games into their season, the New York Jets have not received a contribution from Haason Reddick, who continues to hold his ground. The Philadelphia Eagles can say the same about Bryce Huff, even though at least he played.

Would a one-for-one transaction ultimately make sense? At least one of those edge rushers would welcome it, according to Jets beat writer Rich Cimini of ESPN.

“Can (Huff) be traded back to the Jets? Let’s put it this way. A little bird told me that I don’t think Reddick would be against something like that,” Cimini said on his “Flight Deck” podcast on September 25.

“I think Reddick is so frustrated with the Jets’ situation — and of course he asked for a trade in August — so frustrated that he wouldn’t mind going back to Philadelphia. Again, I heard it from a little bird. Take it for what it’s worth. Could that trade happen? Reddick for Huff? Boy, that would be one of the most bizarre trades in NFL history.

Huff signed a three-year deal worth $51.1 million in Philadelphia in March, ostensibly replacing Reddick, whom the Eagles ultimately traded for a conditional third-round pick in April due to his contract demands, which in New York have only escalated with a contract. trade request. Reddick, who has 58 career sacks, is in the final season of a three-year, $45 million contract.

The 26-year-old Huff didn’t fit into Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s scheme, making just one tackle on 44% of defensive snaps.

Reddick’s absence was costly to his wallet; According to ESPN, he loses approximately $800,000 per game and risks a total of $21.75 million for the season.

On September 19, Reddick sent out a cryptic tweet that got fans excited about a resolution.

“God will always make a way (prayer hand emoji),” he wrote.

But just over a week later, Reddick appears to be no closer to returning to the field.
