The Philadelphia Eagles are reigning Super Bowl champions despite having traded away Haason Reddick. In the 2024 offseason, Philly traded Reddick to the New York Jets right after agreeing to a three-year, $50 million contract with former Jets speed demon on the edge Bryce Huff.
Reddick's refusal to suit up for the Jets until the season was essentially over led to just 1.5 sacks on the register, which forced him to sign a one-year prove-it deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The reigning NFC South champions are on Philadelphia's schedule this season, which could
According to the Eagles' 2025 schedule, Philly will travel to Tampa Bay in Week 4 to face off with Reddick for the first time since his departure. The two parties might finally get some resolution between them after this matchup, which could show the league once and for all if Reddick is still a viable starting pass rusher in the NFL.
Former Eagles star Haason Reddick will face old team with Buccaneers in Week 4
The Reddick-for-Huff pseudo-swap seems to have no winners. Reddick cost himself millions of dollars and put up the worst performance of his career, while Huff was so ineffective after signing a three-year contract that he was essentially deactivated after falling to the bottom of the depth chart.
Reddick is joining a Tampa Bay team that not only had one of the worst pass rushes in the league last season, but also chose to address wide receiver and cornerback in the NFL Draft. Reddick will be one of this team's most impactful players on either side of the ball, and his game against the Eagles could either set the tone for a strong start or show how his career has sputtered.
Reddick will certainly have his work cut out for him. There may be no finer pair of offensive tackles in the league than Jordan Mailata on the left side and Lane Johnson on the right can make it very difficult for a smaller speed rusher that is getting a bit long in the tooth in Reddick to prove he can still operate at a high level.
The Eagles seem to be getting along just fine without Reddick, which could make this Week 4 duel even more painful for Reddick if he fails to pressure Jalen Hurts. A slow start in Tampa could be the last chance for Reddick when it comes to establishing himself as a starter.
