    Haason Reddick sack and snap count tracker

    In March, the Philadelphia Eagles traded Haason Reddick to the Jets. In return, they received the Jets’ third-round pick in 2026. That third-round pick will become a second-round pick if Reddick plays at least 67.5 percent of the Jets’ defensive snaps and he has 10 or more sacks in 2024.

    Reddick’s career snap count percentages and sack stats:

     Haason Reddick Snap count %  Sacks 
    2017  42%  2.5 
    2018  76%  4 
    2019  61%  1 
    2020  79%  12.5 
    2021  83%  11 
    2022  74%  16 
    2023  74%  11 

    As you can see, Reddick played at least 67.5 percent of his teams’ snaps and posted at least 10 sacks in each of the last four seasons. However, he held out from the entirety of Jets training camp, the preseason, and now into the regular season. Still, we’ll track Reddick’s snaps and sacks all season, as Howie Roseman will hope that Reddick and the Jets can work something out. The conditions of that trade are still salvageable, but only if Reddick returns to the team very soon.

    UPDATE: The Eagles can also reportedly get a second-round pick from the Jets if the Jets trade him to an NFC team.

    A Busy Weekend, A Busy Week.

    The Eagles Are Adding Depth at All Positions. From Everywhere.

    In the NFL, March is your time to spend money on talent. April is your time to draft it. Filling positions of need not just for this season, but for seasons to come. Building for your future.

    Especially when the season didn’t end the way that you wanted.

    Last weekend, the Eagles earned one of the best grades in the NFL at the Draft by adding key talent. In the first round they drafted Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. In the second round, they added another defensive back Cooper DeJean. In the third round they drafted Jalyx Hunt an outside linebacker from Houston Christian. In the fourth round, they drafted Will Shipley from Clemson. In the fifth round, the Eagles added wide receiver Ainais Smith from Texas A&M, Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. from Clemson, and Guard Trevor Keegan from Michigan. Philadelphia’s draft selections ended in the sixth round with wide receiver Johnny Wilson from Florida State, Guard/Center Dylan McMahon from NC State.

    Right after the Draft, the Eagles added the lowest amount of UDFA’s in recent memory but still walked away signing Gottlieb Ayedze, OL, Maryland, Anim Dankwah, OT, Howard, Andre’ Sam, S, LSU, Kendall Milton, RB, Georgia, Gabe Hall, DT, Baylor, McCallen Castles, TE, Tennessee.

    The week wasn’t done. Time for some additional competition.

    The Eagles rookie minicamp will also have ten additional invites Princeton QB Blake Stenstrom, Ohio State/IPP WR Praise Olatoke, Georgia Southern TE Jjay Mcafee, Wake Forest LB Jacob Roberts, Grambling State CB Cedric Anderson, Ferris State CB Shon Stephens, Clemson CB Sheridan Jones, Mercer CB Tavion McCarthy, UCLA S Kenny Churchwell III, IPP P Harry Mallinder.

    The Eagles also invited veteran players for tryouts; WR Jakeem Grant, WR John Ross, DB Terrell Burgess, LB Shaq Quarterman, LB David Anenih, and TE Griffin Hebert.

    The Eagles also signed Mekhi Becton from the Jets, adding depth to the offensive line.

    To make room for all of these moves the Eagles parted ways with DT Noah Elliss, WR Griffin Hebert, DB Tiawan Mullen, and C Lecitus Smith.

    The Eagles have created competition at every position, which is exactly the way that they want it.

    Looking for Worldwide 300-Pound Protection – Philadelphia Sports Nation

    The Eagles Aren’t Just Playing Internationally. They Are Looking for Talent Globally.

    In the professional world as in life, rules for success keep you focused. If you follow them and stay committed, success generally follows.

    Since the Eagles became a Super Bowl contender again in the early 2000s, they’ve learned some important lessons that have kept them as competitive for most seasons. One lesson in particular has help to make them an international contender and the class of the NFC over the last twenty years.

    Look everywhere.

    Of course, that applies to trends. The Eagles look at new schemes that can help them in all areas of football. If it’s trending in high school, college, or an independent football league — you better believe that the Eagles are scouting it too.

    Last offseason, the Eagles brought in international Scottish Rugby Coach Richie Gray. The result, the patented “Tush Push” that looked almost unstoppable for the first half of the Eagles 2023 season.

    Searching under ever rock across the globe for game plan improvements like Indiana Jones on an archeological dig for hidden relics isn’t the only thing that the Eagles are looking for. They are also looking for top talent.

    In 2018, the Eagles surprised the whole NFL by taking Australian Rugby Player Jordan Mailata with the seventh round 233rd selection in the 2018 NFL Draft. The 6 foot 8, 365 pound Mailata is now a starting tackle for the Eagles.

    This week, the Eagles didn’t have to surrender a draft pick to pickup another rugby sensation when they signed offensive tackle and twenty-one year old, 6 foot 5, 318-pound Laekin Vakalahi who has lived in New Zealand and Australia.

    The Eagles may be just following history. 

    The first latino player to play in the NFL was back in 1927. His name was Saturnino “Lou” Molinet.

    He played for the Frankford Yellow Jackets.

    The Best Around – Philadelphia Sports Nation

    Will Shipley Has Been Waiting to Burn Up the NFL Gridiron All His Life. Now He’ll Do It In Philly.

    Could the Eagles have a plan to let Saquon Barkley be a devastating force while ensuring that he stays healthy into January? Does the plan include not having him touch the ball 35 times per game? You’d certainly think so with offensive weapons like DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown, Dallas Goedert, and Jalen Hurts.

    Now here is another reason.

    The Eagles selected Clemson running back Will Shipley on Saturday with the 127th pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Shipley is an intriguing pick not only for his production but for the versatility that he gives the Eagles running attack.

    Ranked as the #2 running back prospect in the country by ESPN out of high school, Shipley has always been a specimen of all-around athletic excellence.

    At Weddington High School as a defensive back and also a running back he rushed for almost 4,200 yards. In the passing attack, he added another 1,184 receiving yards and a combined 80 scores. On defense he added 43 solo tackles and two sacks. On the varsity lacrosse team, he would play 38 games and add another 49 goals.

    When it came time for a son of North Carolina to go to college, Clemson made all the sense in the world. The Tigers had been NCAA Champions in 2016 and 2018, after all. In three seasons, Shipley would rush for nearly 2,800 yards and 31 touchdowns. He would add another 602 yards receiving.

    What Shipley gives the Eagles is versatility at running back that allows Barkley to rest. And a number #1 running game paired with the league’s best passing attacks means less extended plays for the quarterback.

    Which means Jalen Hurts stays healthy, too.
