Philadelphia,Tu – May 20, 2025
The Philadelphia Eagles faced a fiery jab on May 20, 2025, as a former defensive standout threatened to sign with their fiercest rival before OTAs ignite. This pass-rushing dynamo, cut loose by his latest team, aims to haunt Philly’s Super Bowl dreams. Who’s the ex-Eagle stirring NFC East drama?
Haason Reddick, a two-time Pro Bowler, told NFL Network he’s eyeing a deal with the Dallas Cowboys after the New York Jets waived him, saving $14.5 million in cap space. Reddick’s 2024 season—11 sacks, 23 tackles for loss—followed his 2022 Eagles stint, where he notched 16 sacks before a trade for a 2024 third-round pick. “I’d love to haunt Philly,” Reddick smirked.
Reddick’s departure from Philly stemmed from a $45 million contract dispute, landing him with the Jets, where injuries and a 7-10 record dimmed his shine. The Cowboys, reeling from a 75-13 combined 2024 loss to Eagles, see Reddick as a Micah Parsons replacement, with Brian Schottenheimer eager to bolster a defense that bled 1,892 rushing yards. Philly’s Howie Roseman now faces a rival’s revenge plot.
NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah warned Eagles fans of Reddick’s threat, citing his 50.5 career sacks as a matchup nightmare for Jordan Mailata. “He’s a Philly killer,” Jeremiah said. X posts from Eagles faithful raged, with some like Sarah Jones vowing Jalen Carter’s 10.5 sacks will outshine Reddick, while Cowboys fans hyped a playoff upset.
The Eagles, soaring off a 40-22 Super Bowl LIX rout of the Chiefs, boast Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and Cooper DeJean for 2025. Reddick’s taunt fuels a heated NFC East clash, but Philly’s depth reigns supreme. Eagles fans, brace for a rivalry showdown.
