Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick agreed to a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers worth $14 million, according to multiple reports Monday.
The deal, which won’t become official until Wednesday, includes $12 million guaranteed, per the reports.
Reddick is coming off a season in which he didn’t play until late October amid a contract-related holdout situation with the New York Jets, who obtained Reddick last March from the Philadelphia Eagles for a conditional 2026 draft pick.
Reddick, who was looking for a long-term deal, ultimately agreed to a contract adjustment. He had been due to make $14.25 million in the final season of his three-year, $45 million contract.
However, $5.5 million of that was forfeited when he sat out games, and related fines added up to another approximately $1.5 million lost in 2024, according to ESPN. This was despite the Jets agreeing not to fine him $12 million as they could have for his refusal to play.
A first-round pick (13th overall) by Arizona in 2017, Reddick is a two-time Pro Bowl selection with 424 tackles, 102 quarterback hits, 59 sacks and 17 forced fumbles in 114 games (81 starts) with the Cardinals (2017-20), Carolina Panthers (2021) and Eagles (2022-23).
He finished the tumultuous past season with just 14 tackles, three quarterback hits, one forced fumble and a sack in 10 games (two starts) with the Jets.
Reddick recorded 50.5 sacks from 2020-23.
