The 29-year-old Reddick is in the latter year of a three-year, $45 million contract, and after two Pro Bowl seasons with the Birds in which he collected double-digit sacks, he probably wants a raise.

Reddick had another successful season, but the Eagles’ 10-1 start and their 11-6 record were disappointing. The team was eliminated from the playoffs by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild card round. For the fourth consecutive year, he recorded double-digit sacks with 11 sacks, in addition to 23 quarterback hits and 38 total tackles, including 13 tackles-for-loss.

Overthecap.com estimates that Reddick will earn $15 million in 2024, placing him significantly below the league’s best pass rushers and in 14th place among pass rushers. In terms of average annual value (AAV), Nick Bosa of San Francisco makes $34 million, T.J. Watt of Pittsburgh makes $27 million, Joey Bosa of Los Angeles makes $27 million, and Myles Garret of Cleveland makes $25 million. These four players are among the finest pass rushers in the league.

Before the 2023 campaign, Reddick, a Camden native and Temple University football player, said CBS Sports he was “hopeful” to sign a new deal with the team and “represent my city for the rest of my career.”

Reddick was free to pursue a trade, but he could still spend his last season in Philadelphia before leaving.

The Eagles allowed cornerback Darius Slay to look for a trade last season, but they ultimately signed him to a new deal.

But the Eagles’ defensive line will be very different the following season if Reddick does go via trade.

This offseason, Reddick, a crucial component of the team’s Super Bowl run the previous year, and the probable departures of Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox—both free agents—loom large.
