It is still unclear whether the signature of Bucs Edge Rusher Haason Reddick will work out. However, the initial idea of a one-year overall contract and a $12 million $12 million contract was considered a low-risk, high-remuneration type of transaction.
This allows Bucs to bring something new Edge Rush I hope he can take advantage of the players he was just a few seasons ago when he recorded double digit bags each year. It also gives Reddick the opportunity to win a solid payday this year, and puts him in the position to get a big deal that is seeking the next offseason (either the Bucs or elsewhere), which he hoped for with the Jets before everything fell apart a year ago.
In the meantime, Bucs still has Yaya Diaby, developing Chris Braswell on an external linebacker. It is also possible that they will draft another edge rush this season. That’s advantageous for both sides. And if that doesn’t work…well…it’s only one season.
Bucs highly praise the Haason Reddick deal
That’s why so many people were fans of this deal. With sports illustrations, Who compiled a list of signatures for the best and worst free agent values from free agency this offseason. Manzano has signed Reddick deals with Bucs in the best value signature category, along with Justinfield who goes to the Jets, Justinfield who has contracts with the Chargers, and DJ Reid heading to the Lions.
Here’s what was said about Reddick:

If Reddick had no trouble with the Jets, he would probably have been considered the top free agent edge rush on Josh Sweat. Reddick and Sweat were solid duoes in two seasons with the Eagles, but it’s not stretch to say Reddick was two excellent players.
Yes, Reddick turns 31 in September, three years older than sweat, but in 2025 the production level may be the same, and Buccaneers didn’t have to pay a $41 million bond to Reddick, as Arizona Cardinals did with sweat. Reddick struggled partially in his only season with the Jets as he missed all his training camp and didn’t make his season debut until week 8 due to a contract mismatch.
Another reason to like this deal: Reddick is currently working with coach Todd Bowles, a defensive guru who knows how to manufacture pressure on a quarterback.
At the NFL annual meeting at West Palm Beach, we finally got to hear from the Bucs brass with General Manager Jason Licht and head coach Todd Bowles With their reaction to the Reddick trade for the first time.
Licht first spoke on Monday.
“[We’re] I’m really excited to have him,” Licht said. “He’s a really unique player. He has a lot to prove. He’s very hungry. He really enjoyed the conversation after we signed him. He’s going to play to try and get another sip of the apple I like. He’s really excited to help the young people. He talked about it – being a leader and all of those things. It always helps.”

Bowles then spoke on Tuesday.
“I knew him as a player. He came to Arizona after I left,” Bowles said. “He got there the year after I left, I am pretty sure. [Run Game Coordinator/Outside Linebackers Coach Larry] Foot has a lot to do with him and we talked about it quite a bit. I knew he was one of the pass rushes. A pass rush was required. We knew he started mid-season, so I think it was a wash for him last season. We expect him to become his old self with us.
“He can do a lot, but more importantly, he can hurry passersby. If there are people who can hurry passersby, we’ll have them rush passersby. As I said last year, we need to bring in great additions to bring in great additions to add in four. For us.”
Bucs rivals have the worst value signature

The Bucs didn’t have anyone listed in the worst value category, but their division rivals were. It was a saint and their three years and $51 million signature on Edge Rush Chase Young, but this is not a common one.
New Orleans was already in a difficult financial situation, and this wasn’t much better. This is what was said about movement:
Young overcomes his durability issues, but the Saint overpaid for a player who only lined up 63% of his defensive snaps last season. Young became a reliable spinning player in obvious pass-down situations, from a dominant first edge rush before the injury.
The saints were not in the business of long-term commitment to young people, knowing all pay cap obstacles. A better route was for Chase to walk free agency and draft Edge Rush to play next to Carl Granderson.
