The New York Jets had a void to fill on their defensive line following edge rusher Bryce Huff's departure.

And the team appeared to address the hole in their pass rush by pulling off a trade with the team Huff signed a three-year contract with in mid-March — the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles reportedly traded Reddick to the Jets Friday. 

The Jets sent a conditional 2026 third-round draft pick to the Eagles in exchange for Reddick. Philadelphia's compensation could become a second-round pick if Reddick reaches certain playing time thresholds and records at least 10 sacks, sources told ESPN.

The 29-year-old Reddick finished the 2023 season with 11 sacks in 17 games. Huff had a team-leading 10 sacks for New York last year.
