Howie Roseman took advantage of contract strife to acquire A.J. Brown, and now the Eagles GM saw a potential contract problem with Haason Reddick and dealt him to the New York Jets.
The Eagles general manager swooped in when he saw contract strife between the Tennessee Titans and receiver A.J. Brown on draft night two years ago and landed Brown in a deal that was likely a big reason why Titans GM Jon Robinson lost his job. Brown is on a Hall of Fame trajectory and is signed through 2029.
So, it has come to pass that Reddick is a no-show for New York’s mandatory veteran minicamp this week. The edge rusher with the four straight double-digit sack seasons has yet to do anything with his new team because he didn’t participate in OTAs, either.And to think this discord could have happened in Philadelphia. Roseman clipped it before it could happen, and, as unhappy as many fans were at parting ways with Reddick, it now looks like the right move.
The Eagles, of course, need Reddick to play this year after receiving a third-round draft pick in 2026 that could become a second-round pick, and he probably will. He wouldn’t dare sit out the season if he doesn’t get a new deal, would he? Meanwhile, Roseman may have found a younger version of Reddick in 26-year-old Bryce Huff, who signed a three-year deal worth just over $16M per season. He is coming off his first double-digit sack season with the Jets and more could be on the way.Roseman asked defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and defensive ends/outside linebackers coach Jeremiah Washburn their opinion of Huff before the GM signed him when free agency opened in mid-March.
