    Could Bucs Trade for Haason Reddick?

    By Jonah Morgan,

    New York Jets veteran edge rusher Haason Reddick has requested a trade from the team just four months after they traded for him, and the Jets seem hesitant to trade him.

    In a recent article by Bleacher Report's Alex Kay , he cooks up some new landing spots for the NFL's top trade targets. For Reddick, he thinks that a good fit for him could be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as they could use some help off the edge.

    "The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are relatively flush with cap space right now and could use a talent of Reddick's caliber on the edge. The team is currently set to rely on Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and Yaya Diaby to man the starting outside linebacker spots, but both are dealing with injuries and neither has recorded more than 7.5 sacks in a single season. The Bucs might even get a deal on Reddick's services if the Jets are willing to take back less than it gave up for him to put this saga behind them."

    The Jets have expressed that they are not willing to trade the veteran edge at the moment, but that could change in time.

    Reddick finished the 2023 season with 11 sacks, which placed him in the top 15 in the league. He has finished each of the last four season with double-digit sacks, despite turning 30 years old in September.

    If the Jets decide that they are willing to trade Reddick to get rid of the drama he brings, the Buccaneers could take a chance and throw their hat in the ring for the star edge rusher.
