Philadelphia Eagles Could Trade Pro Bowl Linebacker Haason Reddick
Where He Could Potentially Land
There are plenty of front offices that will jump and call Philadelphia to make an offer. The expectation is that as long they don’t receive calls from NFC East opponents, then it wouldn’t be an issue. However, the potential suitors for Reddick are the Lions, Texans and Colts. Detroit would strongly benefit as they’re in a “win now” mode.
His pairing with the existing starter on the defensive line, Aidan Hutchinson would be a scary sight for many offenses. The Lions could truly make a huge splash on their defense if they make this signing happen. However, Reddick would fit into the puzzle with Defensive Rookie of the Year, Will Anderson Jr. for the Texans. Houston is lacking a counterpart for Anderson and getting Reddick to be that would make sense.
Coach of the Year runner-up, DeMeco Ryans understands the value of a deep defensive player, so the move would make things spicy. Reddick would also make sense for the Colts where they play more of a traditional 4-3 base defense. However, he worked as a built-up edge rusher and he has a close connection with ex-Eagles offensive coordinator, Shane Steichen. The Colts have the space for it and they’re in dire need of a long-term edge rusher.
