As they say, what goes around, comes around—could Haason Reddick be headed back to his previous team? Reddick’s situation ain’t looking too hot right now, and it’s got everyone talking. With insider whispers and eyebrow-raising hints, we all might as well be in for a major shakeup.
Jets insider Rich Cimini shared some intriguing news on X: Reddick’s pretty fed up with how things are shaping up in New York—and wouldn’t mind returning to Philadelphia. “Haason is so frustrated with the Jets’ situation, and of course, he did request a trade in August, so frustrated that he wouldn’t mind going back to Philadelphia,” Cimini asserted. “Again, heard it from a little birdie. Take it for what it’s worth.” Those words raised eyebrows across the league, hinting at a major shift in the defensive landscape.

But is the idea of the Eagles bringing Reddick back really far-fetched? Insider Cimini tossed around that a swap could be on the table, adding, “A lot of things would have to fall into place, which makes it kind of far-fetched, but it’s an interesting situation to look at nonetheless.” The Jets might trade the LB for Bryce Huff. But here’s a catch: Huff’s been a disappointment lately—three games in, and he’s yet to notch a sack or QB hit—only logging 32% of the snaps in Week 3. That said, a trade could happen, but a lot would have to align.
On the Eagles’ front, Derrick Gunn reported on Sept. 12 that the team has “no intentions of bringing Haason Reddick back.” This could change, though, especially if the two-time Pro Bowl LB’s holdout continues. He’s currently forfeiting about $800k per game missed, stacking up against roughly $5M in fines from the offseason. Talk about motivation!
Reddick’s been playing above his three-year, $45M deal he signed with the Eagles (during 2022 free agency)—but there’s no guaranteed cash, and he’s itching for something new. Philly’s decision to trade the Temple standout on April 1 for a conditional third-round pick is now under scrutiny.
With tensions rising and trade winds blowing, all eyes are on Haason Reddick. Will he end up back in Philly? The NFL landscape’s never dull—adding to the drama, Aaron Rodgers pointed fingers at Reddick’s agent over the Jets’ disarray rumors.

What’s your perspective on:
Is Haason Reddick right to be frustrated with the Jets, or is he overreacting?
Have an interesting take?
New York’s keeping things spicy, and Rodgers is right in the mix. On The Pat McAfee Show, the veteran QB threw some serious shade at Reddick’s agent, who’s been feeding false news in the Jets’ locker room.
When asked about a preseason article claiming the NYJ team was in disarray because of how A-Rod’s treated, he laughed it off and clapped back, saying the culture’s the polar opposite. He even joked that the article might as well have been written by Reddick’s agent, trying to take a dig at the Jets. Classic move.
The article also claimed that the Super Bowl XLV champ holds too much sway, making it tough for the team to gel. To top it off, it threw shade on him for skipping the mandatory minicamp, but Rodgers ain’t sweating it—especially after the Jets crushed the Pats 24-3, putting them at 2-1. Rodgers pointed out how ridiculous these offseason stories sound when you’re winning games on-field.

“Is anyone even talking about minicamp anymore? Nah, it shouldn’t matter,” he said, keeping it real about what really counts.
With Rodgers’ latest finger-pointing, the Jets saga’s shaping up to be one helluva ride. Stay tuned—this drama isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!
