Haason Reddick’s Next Contract Projects to be a 3-Year, $47 Million Deal. Reddick is slated to have a sizable $21.8 million cap hit…

Dangerously close to being a second-round pick is the No. 30 pick. Can the man chosen at No. 30 perform at even remotely the caliber of play that the Eagles have grown accustomed to seeing from Reddick? It would be difficult for
