New York Jets linebacker Haason Reddick released a statement Tuesday thanking the Philadelphia Eagles and their fans for his two-year stint with the franchise.

The Eagles traded Reddick to the Jets for a conditional 2026 third-round pick last week. The pick will improve to a second-round selection if Reddick plays 67.5 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps and records 10 sacks next season.

The trade essentially resulted in a swap of pass-rushers between Philadelphia and New York after former Jet Bryce Huff signed with the Eagles in free agency. The Eagles allowed Reddick to explore his trade market after they showed no interest in re-signing him to a long-term contract extension.

It's unclear if the Jets will offer Reddick an extension. He's set to make $14.3 million in the final year of a three-year, $45 million deal he signed in 2022.

"I believe I have a lot left in the tank," Reddick told reporters Monday. "If I didn't, I wouldn't be here. That's pretty much that. I feel like when I don't have any more left to give, I'll retire. Until that point, I'm going to continue to try to play my best ball."

Reddick's exit from Philadelphia is bittersweet given his ties to the area. He was born in Camden, New Jersey, and grew up in Haddon Heights, both just outside of Philadelphia, before playing college football at Temple.

The Jets technically play in Jersey, so this marks a return to his home state, but it's understandable that Reddick wanted to honor his two-year stint in Philly with a statement.
