While Jon Rothstein has credibly informed us that “This Is March” and college basketball postseason tournaments are already in full swing, the NFL takes no time off from news and this Saturday is no different.
Per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini (and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero among others), the Philadelphia Eagles have “been shopping both Josh Sweat and Haason Reddick” for the last “few weeks.”
A month ago there were reports that the Birds gave Reddick permission to seek a trade but, two days later, Reddick himself said he didn’t ask to seek a trade and he wanted to stay in Philly, which is his hometown and where he played college football too.
However, a week ago, rumors surfaced that the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars were interested in trading for Reddick and now there seems to be more smoke building around a potential trade with Russini’s Saturday morning report.
Reddick, who turns 30 on Sept. 22, was a first round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2017 and signed a free agent deal with the Eagles in 2022.
In two seasons in Philly, Reddick has amassed 27 sacks, six forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and 87 tackles. His cap hit for 2024 is just under $22 million, which is the highest on the team.
The #Eagles are having trade calls on DE Josh Sweat, sources tell me and Sweat has 35 career sacks and is still only 26 years old. Philly is starting over with a new defensive staff and Sweat could be on the move.
