Jets and Eagles complete Blockbuster, Hasson Reddick Heads to New York

The New York Jets have the pass rusher they have been looking for. 

Gang Green completed a stunning trade with the Philadelphia Eagles that sends one of the games elite pass rushers, Hasson Reddick to New York in exchange for a conditional 2026 third round pick. 


Reddick is entering the final year of his contract, and was reportedly seeking a trade and was unhappy with his contract in Philadelphia. He is only 29-years old, still in the prime of his career. The Jets will pay Reddick $14.5 million to play for them this year.

If you listen to Jets beat writer Connor Hughes, Reddick wants a long term deal in the $30 million annually range. It remains to be seen if the Jets go all in on a long term deal with Reddick, but one thing is certain, the Jets got themselves a top flight talent to replace Bryce Huff who, ironically, left the Jets for the Eagles. 

Reddick has recorded double digit sack seasons in each of the last four seasons, including a career high 16 sacks in 2022. The Jets have not had that kind of production off the edge in a long time, even with Huff recording 10.5 sacks last season. 

It's an interesting swap. The Jets get instant production, -- at least they hope -- from a player still in the prime of his career, while the Eagles are betting on the younger Huff to round into the kind of player Reddick has been in the past four seasons. 

If Reddick is the standout performer for the Jets that he was in Philly, it's a huge win for the Jets and worth the third round pick. If not, well, chances are Joe Douglas won't have to worry about that draft pick in two years.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
