PHILADELPHIA — Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick has been granted permission to request a trade, a league source confirmed Sunday.

Reddick, 29, signed a three-year, $45 million free agent contract with his hometown team during the 2022 offseason.

He quickly outperformed that deal, racking up 16 sacks during the 2022 regular season and 3.5 more in the playoffs during the Super Bowl in Philadelphia.

“You all see it, you all know what’s going on,” Reddick said when asked last offseason if he was underpaid. “I’m afraid I’ll be the best version of myself, and then everything will work out, really.”

He added 11 more sacks during the 2023 campaign, marking the fourth straight season he reached double-digit sacks.

NFL Network was first to report that Reddick had received clearance to seek a trade.

From the Eagles' perspective, it's not guaranteed a trade will get done. Cap and compensation considerations will have to be fair in order to part with one of their best defensive players. But with pressing needs across the board on defense, the money they freed up in a Reddick trade would be redistributed quickly.

There are 12 Edge Rushers currently averaging over $20 million per season, led by Nick Bosa ($34 million), according to Spotrac.com.
