Eagles trade Haason Reddick to Jets

[Creeper]

Jets are all in this year.

That’s everyone lol. They are playing for now not 5 years down the road. Maybe that’s what the Eagles are playing for…..

It’s never a 1-to-1 trade off, that’s a myopic way of looking at it.

Take Dak: if his cap hit had no impact on the rest of the team, then all of this hullabaloo over 60m$ wouldn’t matter. But it does matter. It’s not Dak vs some rookie. It’s Dak vs some rookie and 5-6 pro bowlers you can sign with the saved cap space.

Bryce Huff is cheaper than Haason Reddick. We’re saving 14m$ next year, and with Howie’s low-cap-hit-on-first-year deals, 2025 cap space is important for contracts right now. So it’s not Reddick or Huff. It’s Reddick or Huff and the day 2 pick and the player(s) we can sign with the saved cap space. Watch Howie go pick someone up now with a dirt cheap cap hit year 1 like Justin Simmons or Julian Blackmon because we now have extra space to do so

Top edge rushers want top money. The Eagles saying no to Reddick’s suggestion of $25 million a year may benefit the Cowboys in the very near future. Parsons is certainly thinking in terms of $30 million per season. Maybe some owners are indicating the position, while important, is simply not quite $25 to $30 million per season important.

Reddick is still about to be paid. But Parsons is young so he definitely will be. We rarely see the cowboys win this type of negotiation. Once they decide to keep a player they are pretty much guaranteed a top contract.

Look you can make excuses or justify all you want. Eagles took a step back. No longer have to worry about Reddick.

Have you seen the list of players the Jets have acquired?

Aside from T Smith, they've signed Mike Evans (WR), Solomon Thomas (DT), Mogan Moses (OL), Haason Reddick (DE), Lewis Fotu (DL), Tyrod Taylor (QB), Javon Kinlaw (DT)...

Looks like Smith may eventually retire with a SB ring

Lol, the Jets will find a way to choke mid season.

Reddick 862 snaps, 11 sacks. Huff 486 snaps, 10 sacks. You do the math. Guess who else is now with the Jets? The Cowboys have to worry about everybody. What a brilliant front office.

Downgrade. No matter what you guys say no one can sit here and say Huff is better than Reddick.

Looks like a similar player, so the trade-off is they get a similar player to what they had and a quality pick. It would be like us signing a similar player to Lawrence in free agency and then trading Lawrence for a mid-round pick. I think most of us would be OK with that.

You're assuming Huff is going to be just as effective across double the snaps. We see how Micah Parsons basically wears out by the end of November.

You’re assuming he won’t. It’s professional football. It comes down to how much? Prudent decisions have to be made. The Cowboys have not signed their starting quarterback, their number one receiver, or their most dynamic player on defense. See how it works? Some front offices are making tough decisions. Jerry Jones hires his idiot kid to run the show and throws down Johnnie Walker Blue hoping his attorneys protect him from young women who claim he’s their father. See the difference?

I would not. This reminds me of thinking Allen Hurns was good enough to be our number one. Huff and Reddick are not the same. Teams do not fear or game plan for Huff.

All sacks aren’t the same.

 

[KingCorcoran]

All sacks aren’t the same.

What does that mean? The incidence of sacks certainly is not the same. They are otherwise very similar. You take them when you can get them.

What I mean is there’s a difference between teams game planning for you and you still getting 10 sacks vs getting 10 sacks with not the same coverage. It’s the Dorance Armstrong argument. He and D Law are not the same but he gets more sacks than him. It’s not as simple as just looking at sack totals if it was Jets would’ve re-signed Huff.

It is as simple as this. You have this much money to spend and it behooves you to spend it in a manner that makes you as competitive as possible. Some teams concern themselves with that reality, some teams are the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas can’t figure out how to get their starting quarterback to sign, can’t get their top wide receiver to sign, and can’t get their most dynamic defender to sign. You’re used to a team that is clueless. Don’t succumb to it.

24 year old Huff had the same pass rush win rate as 29 year old Reddick, 5th in nfl. Huff was 2nd in pressure rate, only behind Parsons (20.3 to 20.4). Over the next 5 years I expect Huff will be better than Reddick, likely much better…. The Eagles also are getting Huff for about 8m/year less than Reddick, and are getting a future 2nd round pick to boot.

 

[Cowboys1966]

Reddick is a 29 year old pass rusher…edge rushers aren’t finished at 29 or 30.

He is 30 in September.

 

[Cowboys1966]

Lies.

Lol, smh. Who did they sign in free agency last year? They got several comp picks in this years draft, including a 3rd rounder, because of their net losses in 2023 free agency.

 

[Cowboys1966]

Yeah alright. Stats have a tendency to lie at times…

They do. And sometimes they reveal the truth.

 

[Cowboys1966]

And what sounds like about 8m$ in cap space. Howie would have re-signed Reddick if he was okay with Huff money, but he was talking about his contract last season and the report was he wants at least 25m$.

I would kill for your owner/gm/qb combo.

Lol. Only you could say that after this offseason. Lol at our “All in”.
