The pass-rush market is heating up late this summer, and it's dragging Haason Reddick's name back into the headlines. According to Jordan Schultz, the 2x Pro Bowl edge rusher has become the latest veteran drawing interest from teams around the league, riding the wave created by recent signings elsewhere at the position.
Sources: 2x Pro Bowl OLB Haason Reddick has become the latest veteran pass-rusher drawing interest from teams after recent signings, including Von Miller to Dallas, Za’Darius Smith to Atlanta, and Derek Barnett to Cleveland. The 31-year-old Reddick has 61.5 career sacks and spent last season in Tampa Bay.
The dominoes that got us here: Von Miller landing with the Cowboys, Za'Darius Smith signing on with the Falcons, and Derek Barnett finding work in Cleveland. Every one of those moves thins out the pool of available pass-rushers and, in theory, pushes more teams toward Reddick as a fallback option.
Reddick, 31, spent last season in Tampa Bay on a one-year, $14 million deal but never quite got going — leg injuries limited him to 13 games and just 2.5 sacks. That's a rough final line for a guy who's racked up 61.5 sacks over his career and once looked like one of the league's premier disruptors off the edge, including a run of double-digit sack seasons in Arizona, Carolina and Philadelphia.
The injury-shortened 2025 season clearly dented his market. Spotrac projects Reddick's current value at only around $4.9 million, a steep drop from the $14 million he commanded a year ago. That gap is probably why he's still unsigned this deep into the offseason cycle, even as lesser-name pass-rushers keep getting deals done.
Still, name recognition and pedigree count for something, and contenders looking to bolster their pass rush late in the summer tend to circle back to proven veterans once the top of the market clears out. Whether Reddick lands a role as a rotational rusher or gets another shot at a bigger role likely depends on how he's checked out medically — and how desperate a team's edge room looks once camp battles start sorting out.
