Bryce Huff for Haason Reddick, a rare double loss?

[RoscoeParrish]

Haason Reddick played EDGE for Philly for the last two years. He was coming off FOUR straight years of double digit sacks and was looking for a new contract. Rather than paying him at 30 years old, the Eagles traded him to the Jets for a conditional third round pick.
 

Bryce Huff was a departing Jet who signed with the Eagles for a 3 year $51M, coming off a double digit sack season. 
 

On its face, it appeared like the Eagles got the younger player and the pick, for less money, and assumed some risk of Huff continuing to build off his productive 4th season (Huff had 7.5 sacks over his first 3 seasons). The Jets got the older, more productive player, with arguably less of a football future, which was right in line with their all in with Rodgers timeline.

 

Fast forward to today. Huff has one tackle on the year. The Eagles defense is a complete mess. On the Jets side of things, Reddick hasn’t even appeared in a game yet amidst contract disputes.

 

It’s still early. But the early returns have this appearing to be a player swap/trade that will end up being a failure for both teams.

Guess sometimes things have a way of working out perfectly!

at least the Eagles have that pick.  But wow, total disaster trade that seemingly is not working for either team.

I am surprised they made the pick knowing the guy wanted a contract and you had no idea you would not be able to meet his demands ahead of time.  Sounds like a Jets thing.......
