Eagles' Reddick wants to stay despite reported permission to seek trade
Eagles pass-rusher Haason Reddick would like to remain in Philadelphia, he told Bleacher Report's Jordan Schultz.
"I would like to get an extension done here at home," Reddick said. "At no point did I ever tell the organization I want to be traded."
The Eagles granted Reddick's camp permission to find a deal because of his expiring contract, Schultz reports. Reddick's comments add context to earlier reports that he was granted permission to find a trade partner.
"This is home for me," he added. "I was born and raised here. Two of the most fun years playing football in my life came here. I've cherished being an Eagle."
Reddick signed a three-year, $45-million deal with the Eagles ahead of the 2022 campaign. He'll carry a cap hit of approximately $21.9 million in 2024 if he isn't extended, according to Over the Cap.
Reddick has racked up 27 sacks over two seasons in Philly. He was named a Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro in 2022 after tallying a career-high 16 quarterback takedowns.
The Temple product has 58 sacks, 69 tackles for loss, and 16 forced fumbles in 114 career games with the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, and Eagles.
