Two years after Haason Reddick agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract, he is free to approach other teams about getting traded. Despite the fact that the 29-year-old claims he never asked to be traded.

But rumors have already connected the elite edge rusher to the Falcons. The Falcons “have shown initial interest” in the two-time Eagles sack leader, according to a report from The Liberty Line.

Reddick, who joined Philadelphia prior to the 2022 season, has established himself as one of the best edge rushers in the game, recording 27 sacks and 49 quarterback hits in just two seasons. The Falcons defense would benefit from having him in the lineup.

While the Falcons’ pass rush improved over the last year, where they ranked second to last in sacks in 2022, before rising to 22 this past season, they still need help. A big reason behind the improvement this past season was their off-season investment in free agency.

The Falcons had over $60 million in cap space to work with last year, after two seasons of eating the dead money from the big contracts awarded to former quarterback Matt Ryan and receiver Julio Jones. That was enough to see them add a trio of veterans up front in defensive tackles Calais Campbell and David Oneyamata as well as edge rusher Bud Dupree.
