As soon as it was reported that the New York Jets had traded for Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick, everyone’s mind shifted to Bryce Huff. Since the Jets acquired Reddick from Huff’s new squad, the move began to be collectively viewed as a one-for-one swap: Reddick being brought in as Huff’s direct replacement.
That’s not necessarily the case. Yes, Reddick obviously would not be a Jet today if the team had re-signed Huff, and the Jets clearly traded for him due to the vacancy left by Huff’s exit. With that being said, these two players are far less alike than most think.
