Daily News | Eagles’ new edge rusher Haason Reddick says his homecoming will make for an easy transition
After officially signing a three-year, $45 million contract Thursday afternoon, Reddick said his chance at a homecoming was a major factor in his decision during his introductory news conference.
Reddick’s 23.5 sacks in the last two seasons ranks fifth in the league and he offers some positional flexibility if Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon wants to move him around. Reddick could slot into the “SAM” linebacker role in the Eagles’ base defense and play as a stand-up defensive end when the team is in sub packages.
“I had done it well in college, spending three years or four years rushing the passer,” Reddick said. “It’s just something that’s natural to me. Basically that was it. I got to go back to a position where I could actually do things I was more comfortable with. I got re-excited about playing football.”
