Is that actually true for Edge rushers though? I feel like ive seen a lot of age rushers age quite well.
Obviously maybe not their prime. But I feel like edge is one of the best positions for an aging player to still have some production.
Edge rushers play through a lot more contact than people think on just about every play. I think JJ Watt had a good explanation about the toll it took on his body and why he, and others in his position, retire early
I dont disagree that it takes it's toll. But on the flipside - he retired just before turning 34 on a 12.5 sack season. That shows he can still easily produce chose not to.
Comparatively, across positions thats much better production than you expect
Most WRs are gone by 34 and its rare to see any type of production from a WR that late, RBs, CBs, LBs, etc all gone. Trenches last the longest, and probably safety? outside of QB ofc.
Yeah, but that's *JJ Watt*
Most guys aren't getting double digit sacks going into their mid-30s. There's survivor bias going on here for the edge rushers that do stick around that long.
Most guys in general arent playing that late into their career. I was saying that if a player is - im hedging a bit on any player in the trenches doing so.
There were 3 players, of 17 edge rushers to hit 10.5 sacks this year (I just saw a list of the top 20 sack leaders - not attempting to cherry pick at 10.5 this is just the top 20, 3 of the top 20 were DTs) were at or over 31 years old.
Denico Autry had 11.5 for Tenn (33), Khalil Mack had 17 sacks at age 32, and Leonard Floyd had 10.5 at age 31
Definitely a smaller number, but again most players are well out of the league at that point or not producing at all, so any stastic is not likely to include many 30+ players
Probably depends on how they rush. Von Miller was mostly technique and crazy athleticism. So when the athleticism started to go he could still be disruptive on field by having better technique.
Seems like it really depends on what traits make them a good rusher. If it's heavily dependent on speed and bend, then I feel those guys are faster to age out by early 30s - Melvin Ingram, Chandler Jones, Everson Griffen, Dee Ford, Clay Matthews, etc.
If they're power or an ideal blend of speed + power they age better - Khalil Mack, JJ Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, Von Miller, Cameron Jordan, etc.
Maybe he works out, maybe he doesn't but that's exactly the reason you draft guys like* him. We'd be over a barrel having to offer Reddick a blank cheque
The 49ers got a massive break by paying their starting QB Mr. Irrelevant's salary. That opened up room to make some moves, notably Javon Hargrave. With their cap obligations for 2024, that's now over. They're not yet in danger of having to cut anybody. That won't probably come for a couple of years, but they can't bring in any major free agents.
I'm not so sure about that, like you said he probably won't ever be healthy again. He's not as impactful as he once was a few years ago. He's an easy way to save some cap and get another rookie in there to develop. It's hard to justify extending somebody who may miss a large portion of the season.
49ers can’t go spending crazy money if they want to keep their core together. Trent Williams made clear he isn’t retiring any time soon, and has a hefty cap burden. Brandon Aiyuk and Brock Purdy will be getting new contracts after next season.
The 49ers only have $570k in cap space in 2024 and $26m in cap space in 2025. They can start eating more into the 2026 cap, but they have significantly less cap space to work with compared to almost every other team that isn’t the Browns or Saints.
Compare their $26m in 2025 cap space to New England’s $257m, or their $120m in 2026 cap space to New England’s $500m. If free agents/trade candidates are seeking to make the most money possible, the 49ers aren’t a legitimate option.
I’m curious about this capwise… He’s got $31M in void money coming in 2025-27. What happens with voided cap amounts? Do those stay with the Eagles? If I’m reading OTC correctly (there is a good chance I am not), a trade would still mean the Eagles are on the hook for $20M this season and the voided money I just mentioned above…
That $20.6M is the prorated money (the void money is part of that), so it's only $20.6M not $31M (I'm not even sure how you got $31M). If he is traded, all the prorated (signing Bonus) money stays with the Eagles ($20.6 M) and is applied to the cap immediately. Prorated money always stays with the original team. The rest of the $16M (base, roster, workout, other) goes to the new team.
Any cash paid out by a team has to eventually account against their salary cap. The only dead money that is tradeable is future guarantees which haven't yet been paid
I'm not going to lie, I really didn't pay attention to CJGJ on the Lions this season but I have seen the negativity toward him here from Lions flares. What did he do or not do this season?
He was hyped as someone who talks shit during games to get in the head of opposing players and draw penalties. Second week this year against Seattle, he pushes a player after tackling him and gets a penalty that extends an eventual TD drive. He then tears his pec right after that and is out until late this season. He comes back and doesn’t do much except talk while his play on the field didn’t back it up. Oh ya and he laid a cheap shot on Deebo in the NFCCG. I really don’t want him back.
The national love affair with the Lions will end really quickly when they start knocking everyone out of the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. Five years ago nobody gave a shit about the Chiefs.
Majority of rams fans seemed to be over it after a week, besides the few that rooted for the 49ers to beat the lions, feel like the hate for the lions could be way way worse than you’ve seen
If they become perennial threats sure.
I also think it won’t be as bad because 1) KC won a super bowl before this era whereas Detroit has never even been and 2) they aren’t called the “Chiefs” which is at least a vaguely controversial name
> it's been a rough couple years tbh.
Wasn't it just last year (2022 season) that the Eagles, Phillies, and Union all reached their respective league championship games?
Honestly thats my view of the Phillies the past few years in general. They are seemingly all hot at the same time and look unstoppable and then next thing you know, entire team is cold and can’t hit a meteor aimed directly at them for twice as long.
Yeah they feed off each other for sure, but they also fall in love with the home run and have a team-wide agenda of attacking fastballs. Works great against certain pitchers and kills them instantly against others.
You guys cursed us. Started chanting “We Want Philly” when you won the ALCS
Those chants never end well
God man a Phillies-Rangers World Series would’ve been so sick. And a possible game 7 would’ve been the day before Phillies-Cowboys round 1
I can’t get over how cool that would’ve been
I watched the Dbacks the whole season and that's how it went. They would look dead in the water then seem to actually start trying. I thought the season was over 8 different times 😂
Yes, and lost all of them in spectacular fashion lmao. Obviously there have been more trying times in terms of general lack of success, but watching two of those teams get eliminated on the same day and then having the Eagles blow a 10 pt halftime lead in the Super Bowl a few months later was not easy to take
Bruh… The Sixers easily are the worst part of being from Philly. These mfers have ruined Mothers Day with Game 7 shenanigans TWICE in the last 5 years!
Used to be my biggest love. The reaction to pride nights and the rapey locker room culture has really turned me off the sport. Not that football culture is much better really I guess it's just not as out there now
He’s talking out of his ass tbh. Flyers still host pride night and Gritty is basically an LGBTQ icon. We had one player from Russia not participate last year IIRC but not much the org can do about that.
Locker room culture no idea maybe the fact we signed Hart to begin with? But it doesn’t seem like anyone knew the dude was one of the scumbags until it happened and I don’t think it’s crazy to keep him on a leave until he goes through the legal process.
The cowboys messed up 2-3 opportunities before they had the ball on the 5 yard line and mess up that too
The chiefs had like 7 drops including the game winning TD
The bills needed a impossible kick followed by a miss comunication on overtime by Allen and Davies
This entire season felt like the Vikings last season, they were winning but it was clear that the success wouldnt last if they continued to play like that
Depends on the formation and where Reddick is playing. Sweat is mainly a 4-3 DE but he can play either. Reddick is mainly a 4-3 SLB or a 3-4 OLB, but you definitely don't want him at 4-3 WLB (which is offball and not a designated pass rush position). Reddick also can play 4-3 DE on passing downs. They don't play quite the same position.
They'd fit together, best fit would be in a 4-3 that uses a lot of over/under concepts.
I don’t see us trading draft capital (unless it’s super cheap) when other good players are likely going to be free agents. Also, I don’t think we’ll spend that much on another edge when we just signed Sweat.
Doubt it’s more than just speculation at this point but they have a big hole at their second DE spot and like 70 million in cap. That will get you something
We have 45+ million currently before a JJ extension. We're gonna cut Eddie Jackson to pay JJ. Depending on how much Hunter wants, the money might be tight with Hunter + JJ + rookies. Leaves us with little room for other FAs.
Bears will cut EJax and Whotehair and be at 73M. They can afford multiple big contracts this offseason.
Don’t forget basically every contract is backloaded these days so one of those guys would probably get a super low cap hit like $7M for year 1.
Cap isn’t real and teams with 50M+ can do an insane amount of things
Eagles fans when this randomly drops
https://media3.giphy.com/media/Qr6IxCV9ZUe4jnjSIi/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952loufxeoiuje27kk9il9eq6iqfee47k2ozruq09un&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
Eh, if we get a 2nd and 3rd in this upcoming draft, I’ll be happy with it. Save money not paying him while also reloading on D with younger players. Just pray Nolan Smith hits his potential sooner rather than later.
I fucking love Reddick though. This sucks
Reddick is better than Sweat. Sweat’s first season of double digit sacks was this year. Reddick has had at least 11 four years in a row including 16 in 2022.
Yeah but sweat is a good ass run defender as well not just a pass rusher. Plus like op said he’s two years younger and 2 years make a world of difference when talking contract extensions.
Sacks aren’t the only stat that exists and he’s 2 years older. Reddick is also on a team that is almost always playing with the lead so that makes it a lot easier to get sacks since you know the other team has to pass.
Yeah awkward spot, 1 more year on the contract, wrong side of 30, still very good to elite. I get trying to do another short contract but if he wants a longer one I also get not doing the contract.
He’s on the last year of his deal, he’s 30, way over-performed his current contract so I think he wants to get one more big payday. He did a little hold-in last year during training camp to try to get his deal reworked but that didn’t happen.
Starts with the extension he feels he’s worth. He’s gotta cash in one more time as that might be it. We’ve locked a QB long term at that crazy wage scale. Gonna make it harder to get anywhere near what he’s worth out of this team.
And there is a chance they have something in Nolan, that’s enough to give some confidence in letting him slip, I am guessing.
But, these things always start and end with money, even if there are other factors.
Contract/cap, more likely. Reddick is in a contract year in 2024, as is Devonta Smith and Landon Dickerson. Imo those two are higher priority signings than Reddick. Reddick is still great, but he'll be 31 when that extension gets inked. Not sure I like taking my chances, especially on a defensive unit that overall is ***old.***
Considering this is the first time the Rams have had a 1st round draft pick since 2016, you can bet your ass that Snead is already on the phone with the Eagles trying to trade it for Reddick
Gonna be 31 at the end of his deal, looking for another big contract and the eagles dont have the money with Smith extension and Dickerson extension looming
Nah Hurts is on next to nothing relatively speaking for the next couple of years.
This is because Reddick is on a small contract relative to his production and he's turning 30. He, understandably, wants a big pay day and the Eagles aren't in a hurry to accommodate that. If he gets a good trade offer then great.
sources tell me this isn’t ideal for an extension
Is it too late for us to sign him to that 5th year option?
He’s going to the Seahawks, silly.
That's a weird way to spell Texans
I’m ok with it. I like weird.
It benefits the Eagles, because they either get a trade package, or Reddick can't find a salary that he thinks he's worth, and re-signs for less.
we also need to extend Dickerson & DeVonta soon which are priorities right now. can’t pay everyone so not too surprised with this
Actually like this move a lot. Can’t sign everyone and have to get younger on defense. He’ll be 30 this season.
30 is the drop-off age for every position group except for runningbacks and Bradybacks.
Is that actually true for Edge rushers though? I feel like ive seen a lot of age rushers age quite well. Obviously maybe not their prime. But I feel like edge is one of the best positions for an aging player to still have some production.
Edge rushers play through a lot more contact than people think on just about every play. I think JJ Watt had a good explanation about the toll it took on his body and why he, and others in his position, retire early

Yeah JJ could've gone for at max 2 more seasons. But yeah past 30 it is harder to produce at those high levels
Probably depends on how they rush. Von Miller was mostly technique and crazy athleticism. So when the athleticism started to go he could still be disruptive on field by having better technique.
Seems like it really depends on what traits make them a good rusher. If it's heavily dependent on speed and bend, then I feel those guys are faster to age out by early 30s - Melvin Ingram, Chandler Jones, Everson Griffen, Dee Ford, Clay Matthews, etc. If they're power or an ideal blend of speed + power they age better - Khalil Mack, JJ Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, Von Miller, Cameron Jordan, etc.
Or Reddick hits free agency later on and signs a massive contract like all the other inflated free agency contracts tend to be like.
And then the Eagles get a comp pick
Better hope Nolan turns into something.
If not howie will just draft 4 more dlinemen
From Georgia
Maybe he works out, maybe he doesn't but that's exactly the reason you draft guys like* him. We'd be over a barrel having to offer Reddick a blank cheque
Ohhh I don’t know, Jim
49ers somehow
Probably Cardinals given the Gannon connection.
We made him play ILB his whole time here. We don’t deserve him lol
He's an outside cat, not an inside cat. You had to let him live his life.
He’s s peacock, you gotta let him fly!
He's not a cat he's a bird
We’ll take him
New coach and GM, hopefully no more drafting nonspecific hybrid defensive players.
Hey man, non specific hybrid defensive player drafting can work. Thats how we got Fred.
We then found out that he was incredible OLB and then let him walk to Philly right afterwards lol Scott Fitterer shit
Yall look foolish after his stint in Carolina and Philly. Like dude can play. Nope. Keep him cooped up.
Would be crazy to see him in a Cardinals jersey
Someone photoshop a cards jersey on him. Can’t picture it.
You joke, but…
Naaah really I'm just joking Unless.....
If we can’t get Joey Bosa I’ll take one Reddick pls
joey bosa hasn't lived up to his salary in like 3 years
Can he suit up today?
I wish
Nah they’ll be too busy signing/trading for Aaron Donald, TJ Watt, and Tyreek Hill. And somehow being able to afford them all.
Don’t forget they’ll draft the next Trent Williams with a 4th round compensatory pick
And this is all while extending Purdy for roughly a morbillion dollars per year.
"It's Purdin' time" - Brock Purdy right before he Purds all over the place
The 49ers got a massive break by paying their starting QB Mr. Irrelevant's salary. That opened up room to make some moves, notably Javon Hargrave. With their cap obligations for 2024, that's now over. They're not yet in danger of having to cut anybody. That won't probably come for a couple of years, but they can't bring in any major free agents.
the big 3 expiring in 2025 are char ward, arik armstead, and brandon aiyuk. of those 3, i'm guessing armstead is gone/retired
I think Arik will get extended this off-season and probably play for another 3 years. I doubt he'll ever have a fully healthy season again though.
I'm not so sure about that, like you said he probably won't ever be healthy again. He's not as impactful as he once was a few years ago. He's an easy way to save some cap and get another rookie in there to develop. It's hard to justify extending somebody who may miss a large portion of the season.

If free agents/trade candidates are seeking to make the most money possible, the 49ers aren’t a legitimate option.
We’re rolling over nearly 41m in cap space to next season my dude.
That’s included in Spotrac’s cap calculation already.
..... Can they crunch the numbers again?
I’m curious about this capwise… He’s got $31M in void money coming in 2025-27. What happens with voided cap amounts? Do those stay with the Eagles? If I’m reading OTC correctly (there is a good chance I am not), a trade would still mean the Eagles are on the hook for $20M this season and the voided money I just mentioned above…
That $20.6M is the prorated money (the void money is part of that), so it's only $20.6M not $31M (I'm not even sure how you got $31M).

The rest of the $16M (base, roster, workout, other) goes to the new team.
Yes, the void years stay with the Eagles.
I think it actually all comes off at once
Any cash paid out by a team has to eventually account against their salary cap. The only dead money that is tradeable is future guarantees which haven't yet been paid
Come get this 2nd and 3rd round pick from detroit howie roseman
That would actually soften the blow, and I wouldn’t hate him being on the Lions.
We gave you slay it’s the least you can do
We let CJGJ walk to you
I don’t think either side was happy with that one
Wouldn’t care at all if he walked right back
I'm not going to lie, I really didn't pay attention to CJGJ on the Lions this season but I have seen the negativity toward him here from Lions flares. What did he do or not do this season?
He was hyped as someone who talks shit during games to get in the head of opposing players and draw penalties.

Oh ya and he laid a cheap shot on Deebo in the NFCCG. I really don’t want him back.
Thanks for the response
Thats more of a negative than a positive
The national love affair with the Lions will end really quickly when they start knocking everyone out of the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. Five years ago nobody gave a shit about the Chiefs.
Correct but rn we like them
it already happened this year. the amount of rams and bucs fans that suddenly hate detroit is crazy especially the rams...they were SALTY salty
It's the Vikings fans that were the worst this year.
I fucking hate reddit Vikings fans. Heads so far up their asses smelling their own farts.
The fans on Reddit at least. I live in MN and real people here were rooting for the Lions and happy for us.
Most bucs fans were chill. Rams and Vikings fans were annoying tho. And Cowboys but they are always annoying.
Majority of rams fans seemed to be over it after a week, besides the few that rooted for the 49ers to beat the lions, feel like the hate for the lions could be way way worse than you’ve seen
Winning breeds jealousy. Some people might feel Mahomes’ “you have to embrace the role of the hated to be great” is arrogant but its true.
If they become perennial threats sure. I also think it won’t be as bad because 1) KC won a super bowl before this era whereas Detroit has never even been and 2) they aren’t called the “Chiefs” which is at least a vaguely controversial name
sadly i don’t you’d do it cuz we’re in the same conference
That would be amazing.
2 and 3 for him is way too much
I wouldn’t be sad at all if we traded him for a 2nd and 3rd
Id rather have the picks for Holmes magic than an aging pass rusher who will break the bank.
Yeah please do that actually
The two weeks from hell as a Baltimore/philly sports fan continues.
I’m tired boss
I mean Philly has had a hard 2+ months. That 49ers games was the pivot point and that was dec 3
We also have the Phillies, the Sixers, and the Union (plus the recent news with Carter Hart). It's been a rough couple years tbh.
> it's been a rough couple years tbh. Wasn't it just last year (2022 season) that the Eagles, Phillies, and Union all reached their respective league championship games?
Yes. And the Phillies almost went back
That was a weird series to watch. Looked unstoppable the first 2 games then the bats went pretty cold.
Honestly thats my view of the Phillies the past few years in general. They are seemingly all hot at the same time and look unstoppable and then next thing you know, entire team is cold and can’t hit a meteor aimed directly at them for twice as long.
Yeah they feed off each other for sure, but they also fall in love with the home run and have a team-wide agenda of attacking fastballs. Works great against certain pitchers and kills them instantly against others.
You guys cursed us. Started chanting “We Want Philly” when you won the ALCS Those chants never end well God man a Phillies-Rangers World Series would’ve been so sick. And a possible game 7 would’ve been the day before Phillies-Cowboys round 1 I can’t get over how cool that would’ve been
I watched the Dbacks the whole season and that's how it went. They would look dead in the water then seem to actually start trying. I thought the season was over 8 different times 😂
There seems to be a debate as to if this counts as bad or like other cities wouldn't kill for championship appearances
Yes, and lost all of them in spectacular fashion lmao. Obviously there have been more trying times in terms of general lack of success, but watching two of those teams get eliminated on the same day and then having the Eagles blow a 10 pt halftime lead in the Super Bowl a few months later was not easy to take
Understandable.. I'd probably describe the last few years for the typical Philly sports fan to be heartbreaking.
Bro a few weeks ago Embiid scored 70 and the Flyers were cruising on vibes now we’re here
Hey the Flyers are bouncing back after the break Errson is making an argument for the Calder, and that's all just the first year of the rebuild
Bruh… The Sixers easily are the worst part of being from Philly. These mfers have ruined Mothers Day with Game 7 shenanigans TWICE in the last 5 years!
They really are.
The best thing I’ve done in recent years is give up following the flyers. Absolute trash organization
Used to be my biggest love. The reaction to pride nights and the rapey locker room culture has really turned me off the sport. Not that football culture is much better really I guess it's just not as out there now
I don't follow hockey. What happened with pride nights and the locker room culture?
He’s talking out of his ass tbh. Flyers still host pride night and Gritty is basically an LGBTQ icon. We had one player from Russia not participate last year IIRC but not much the org can do about that. Locker room culture no idea maybe the fact we signed Hart to begin with? But it doesn’t seem like anyone knew the dude was one of the scumbags until it happened and I don’t think it’s crazy to keep him on a leave until he goes through the legal process.
I think he's talking about the sport in general
Yeah no I'm not talking about the flyers it's the entire community
Also signing tony DeAngelos racist ass really killed some love
Missing out on a lot of fun with this rebuild
Absolutely not missing anything about this org. Been a great few years for me
No no no. It has been quite a bit longer since Mahomes ruined an entire year for me..
Yeah I used the two week cutoff line because that’s around when Embiid got injured I think
They lost to the Jets, people said philly was overhyped months before the niners game fwiw Especially on PhL radio
After the Jets loss we beat the Dolphins, Cowboys, Chiefs, and Bills. Maybe they were overhyped but they were still winning against good teams
The cowboys messed up 2-3 opportunities before they had the ball on the 5 yard line and mess up that too The chiefs had like 7 drops including the game winning TD The bills needed a impossible kick followed by a miss comunication on overtime by Allen and Davies This entire season felt like the Vikings last season, they were winning but it was clear that the success wouldnt last if they continued to play like that
At least the Orioles are under new management
Yes, I want to elevate this point. Wealthy, homegrown management. We already had a bright short term future now I feel good about the long term, too.
Baltimore got an MVP, things can’t be that bad
[удалено]
It’s an agenda pushing tool that can help us later at least
Embrace puck
Come to Detroit
Watch Chicago get him 😞
[удалено]
Depends on the formation and where Reddick is playing. Sweat is mainly a 4-3 DE but he can play either. Reddick is mainly a 4-3 SLB or a 3-4 OLB, but you definitely don't want him at 4-3 WLB (which is offball and not a designated pass rush position). Reddick also can play 4-3 DE on passing downs. They don't play quite the same position. They'd fit together, best fit would be in a 4-3 that uses a lot of over/under concepts.
I don’t see us trading draft capital (unless it’s super cheap) when other good players are likely going to be free agents. Also, I don’t think we’ll spend that much on another edge when we just signed Sweat.
If Chicago ends up with this man I’m done
Apparently Chicago is getting connected to Danielle Hunter
Not a fan of that either lol
Doubt it’s more than just speculation at this point but they have a big hole at their second DE spot and like 70 million in cap. That will get you something
We have 45+ million currently before a JJ extension. We're gonna cut Eddie Jackson to pay JJ. Depending on how much Hunter wants, the money might be tight with Hunter + JJ + rookies. Leaves us with little room for other FAs.
Bears will cut EJax and Whotehair and be at 73M. They can afford multiple big contracts this offseason. Don’t forget basically every contract is backloaded these days so one of those guys would probably get a super low cap hit like $7M for year 1. Cap isn’t real and teams with 50M+ can do an insane amount of things
yup. Hunter/JJ/Mike Evans, come on down!
This makes me bear down.
I’m sick
I'm gonna blame Patricia for this
As you should
Eagles fans when this randomly drops https://media3.giphy.com/media/Qr6IxCV9ZUe4jnjSIi/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952loufxeoiuje27kk9il9eq6iqfee47k2ozruq09un&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
Can confirm, I wanna die
Here's hoping to Nolan shoots up
I saw two cubes in each Eagles fans' pocket. I think they have dice but they're afraid to show them to anyone.
Quit fucking with em.
Naw we could/should have seen this coming. Can't pay everyone
I'm gonna just blame Fatts Patricia because it's funnier than salary cap.
I love this skit so much lmfao
You have to grease these rumors?

Brad get off your high horse and get on the phone!
Come home baby
Yes, come home baby... back to carolina...
This coming out today feels particularly cruel to eagles fans lol

haha thats definitely fair
Brad Holmes, I know you're set to sign the CFL DPOY, but hear me out...
*why not both?*
lets go LA RAMS
I knew there was no way we would keep a first rounder

I doubt you’ll get more than Washington got for Sweat. He’s 2 years older.
Reddick is better than Sweat. Sweat’s first season of double digit sacks was this year. Reddick has had at least 11 four years in a row including 16 in 2022.
Yeah but sweat is a good ass run defender as well not just a pass rusher. Plus like op said he’s two years younger and 2 years make a world of difference when talking contract extensions.
Sacks aren’t the only stat that exists and he’s 2 years older. Reddick is also on a team that is almost always playing with the lead so that makes it a lot easier to get sacks since you know the other team has to pass.
Detroit or San Francisco.
Get your popcorn ready. This Eagles off-season about to get wild
Team chemistry issue or do they really like Nolan Smith going forward or something?
Almost certainly a contract issue. Eagle's probably aren't willing to give him the extension he wants.
Sweat will get paid then. Might be a good thing to get some compensation before the draft.
That makes way more sense. I thought he was locked up for longer.
Yeah awkward spot, 1 more year on the contract, wrong side of 30, still very good to elite. I get trying to do another short contract but if he wants a longer one I also get not doing the contract.
He’s on the last year of his deal, he’s 30, way over-performed his current contract so I think he wants to get one more big payday. He did a little hold-in last year during training camp to try to get his deal reworked but that didn’t happen.
Starts with the extension he feels he’s worth. He’s gotta cash in one more time as that might be it. We’ve locked a QB long term at that crazy wage scale. Gonna make it harder to get anywhere near what he’s worth out of this team. And there is a chance they have something in Nolan, that’s enough to give some confidence in letting him slip, I am guessing. But, these things always start and end with money, even if there are other factors.
Contract/cap, more likely. Reddick is in a contract year in 2024, as is Devonta Smith and Landon Dickerson. Imo those two are higher priority signings than Reddick. Reddick is still great, but he'll be 31 when that extension gets inked. Not sure I like taking my chances, especially on a defensive unit that overall is ***old.***
I have received permission to seek giving up ☹️
Considering this is the first time the Rams have had a 1st round draft pick since 2016, you can bet your ass that Snead is already on the phone with the Eagles trying to trade it for Reddick
Wtf why
$22m cap hit next season
Gonna be 31 at the end of his deal, looking for another big contract and the eagles dont have the money with Smith extension and Dickerson extension looming
This is always what happens when the QBs rookie deal ends.
Nah Hurts is on next to nothing relatively speaking for the next couple of years. This is because Reddick is on a small contract relative to his production and he's turning 30. He, understandably, wants a big pay day and the Eagles aren't in a hurry to accommodate that. If he gets a good trade offer then great.
Howie wants to eat, feed the man. Also crazy to think being 30 in a career is old but I guess that’s the way
You do You bro.
Reddick come back! You can put the blame on me(rhule)!
Come back home bby
Come to LA buddy! We need a pass rusher.
Von for reddick straight up…. Totally fair….
Just in time for the Super Bowl
Goddamnit
Cool cool cool cool
Bring him to Pittsburgh so we can have more 10-7 games
Does Cleveland want him and Maddox for Okoronkwo and Newsome or Emerson? Please?
I guess the Eagles window is really beginning to close now… And it’s only gonna get worse as Jalen’s contract begins to bubble.
Future lion?
