Haason Reddick's Dad 'Baffled' Eagles Traded Star to Jets: 'It Felt Awkward'

The father of linebacker Haason Reddick remains at a loss after the Philadelphia Eagles traded the 29-year-old to the New York Jets.

"I really can't wrap my head around it. I'm baffled like everyone else," Raymond Matthew said to ESPN's Tim McManus. "He outperformed his contract. ... He just wanted market value. He just wanted the numbers that made sense, which he didn't get.

"It was a thing where I guess [general manager] Howie Roseman felt that it was better to go that way. It felt awkward. It did."

Philadelphia dealt Reddick to the Jets for a 2026 conditional third-round pick.
