Last Friday, the Eagles traded star pass-rusher Haason Reddick to the Jets. In return, Philadelphia got a conditional third-round pick. New York continues to show they are a team in “win now” mode. Reddick was highly productive for the Eagles and he joins an already talented Jets defense.
Essentially, the two teams swapped edge rushers this offseason. On the first day of free agency, former Jets pass-rusher Bryce Huff signed with Philadelphia.
