Eagles’ $45 Million Pro Bowler Named ‘Dream Offseason Trade’ Target for Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are sure to be active in free agency this offseason, but general manager Eric DeCosta will need to keep an eye on the trade market for any big names that may become available. One of those names that could be available for trade this offseason is Philadelphia Eagles star pass-rusher Haason Reddick.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox believes the defensive end Reddick would be an ideal trade target for the Ravens in his article, “Dream Offseason Trade Scenario for Every NFL Team.”

Knox wrote, “The Baltimore Ravens had the NFL’s top-ranked scoring defense in 2023, but quite a few changes are likely.”

Many of the changes are centered around the 23 free agents the Ravens have this offseason and the minimal cap space they have to work with.

“They have lost defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, who took the Seattle Seahawks’ head coaching job, and defensive standouts like Patrick Queen, Jadeveon Clowney and Geno Stone are slated to hit free agency,” Knox pointed out.

Furthermore, their defensive line could take a significant hit with DT Justin Madubuike potentially leaving this season. Knox also points out, “Clowney, Kyle Van Noy and Brent Urban all set to be free agents.”

Reddick is a two-time Pro Bowler, All-Pro Second Team and finished fourth in Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2022. When a player of his caliber comes available teams will jump at the opportunity.

The star LB has 58.0 career sacks, 16 forced fumbles and 99 QB hits in his young career.

The Ravens could be replacing a majority of their 2023 league leading sack defense, “Fortunately, a top-tier sack artist just might be available,” Knox wrote.

Haason Reddick’s Availability Is a Confusing Situation

Knox wrote “might” because the situation with Reddick’s availability could be considered cloudy at this point.

On Sunday, February 11, prior to the Super Bowl, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport posted, “All-Pro edge rusher Haason Reddick has received permission to seek a trade following another disruptive season featuring double digit sacks.”

Reddick responded himself on Tuesday, February 13, to say, “Never asked for a trade. However, I do understand it’s a business. Preparing for whatever is next!”
