Packers named best fit for ex-Eagles $45 million 16-sack star

“A potential solution is to put him opposite Micah Parsons in a Green Bay defense coordinated by DC Jonathan Gannon. With Gannon on the sticks and Parsons drawing all the attention on the other edge, Reddick could be unlocked for a renaissance season, and the Packers could field one of the scarier pass rushes in the league.”

While New York Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux would also be a realistic option for the Packers, New York is unlikely to trade him this offseason, making it wise for Green Bay to turn its attention to Reddick.

Reddick was among the best pass rushers in the league during the 2022-23 season, as he recorded 49 tackles, 16 sacks, and five forced fumbles on a Philadelphia squad that competed in the Super Bowl. Reddick followed up that successful campaign with an impressive 38-tackle, 11-sack, and one forced fumble 2023-24 season.

The former first-round pick has looked like a shell of his former self with the New York Jets and Tampa Buccaneers, but his track record alone could motivate the Packers to offer him a short-term contract ahead of the new season.
