Haason Reddick

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said the Jets trading Haason Reddick back to the Eagles is not possible because, “Teams can’t trade a player, then reacquire him via trade until two years elapse.”

There had been some speculation over whether or not the Jets could deal Reddick back to the Eagles after a report emerged that Reddick “wouldn’t mind going back to Philadelphia.” Unfortunately for Reddick and, at this point, the Jets, the league doesn’t allow this to happen. Reddick, who has yet to report to the Jets in any capacity since his introductory press conference, is staring down the barrel of a wasted 2024 season if he and the Jets can’t sort out their differences and/or work out a trade to another team ahead of this year’s trade deadline. The 30-year-old pass rusher is coming off an 11-sack season and has totaled 27 sacks over the last two years. Still on the final year of a three-year contract he signed back in 2022, Reddick would find himself in the same situation in 2025 if he doesn’t report to the Jets on or before their sixth game of the season, per Over the Cap.
