Source: Jets acquire 2-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Reddick from Eagles
The New York Jets have acquired two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick from the Philadelphia Eagles for a conditional third-round pick in 2026, a person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press on Friday.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the pick would become a second-rounder if Reddick plays 67.5% of the defensive snaps and gets 10 sacks in 2024.
Reddick, a first-round pick by Arizona in 2017, has recorded double-digit sacks in four straight seasons, including 27 over the past two years with the Eagles.
He's entering the final year of a $45 million, three-year contract and was given permission by the Eagles to seek a trade earlier in the offseason.
Raheem Mostert agreed to a contract extension with the Dolphins that will keep the running back in Miami through the 2025 season, his agent, Brett Tessler, announced.
Mostert, 31, is coming off the best season of his nine-year NFL career, making his first Pro Bowl after rushing for a careerhigh 1,012 yards with a Dolphins franchise record 21 total touchdowns, three more than receiver Mark Clayton in 1984.
His new contract is worth up to $9.075 million, NFL Network reported.

FINAU MATCHES HIS CAREER LOW AT HOUSTON OPEN >> Tony Finau matched his career low on the PGA Tour with an 8-under 62, taking a two-shot lead into the weekend with hopes of winning back-to-back — 16 months apart — in the Houston Open.
Scottie Scheffler saw his streak of 28 rounds under par end with a 22-inch miss on his final hole. The threeputt double bogey from 6 feet gave him an even-par 70, though he was only four behind in his bid for a third straight PGA Tour victory.
Finau was at 9-under 131.
Alejandro Tosti, a PGA Tour rookie from Argentina, had a 67 and was two shots behind. Thomas Detry of Belgium shot 64 and was three behind.
A sore throat and runny nose lowered Hannah Green's expectations for the second round of the LPGA Tour Ford Championship. She sure felt a lot better after a career-best round on a day full of low scoring.
Green birdied the final six holes for an 11-under 61, giving her a one-shot lead going into the weekend.
Increased wind did little to slow the low scoring in the inaugural event at Seville Golf and Country Club, with 20 players shooting 67 or better and a cut line of 5 under — tied for lowest in LPGA history.
Green set the standard at 14-under 130 after making 11 birdies, tied for second-most ever behind Annika Sorenstam's 13 during her historic 59 in 2001. Sarah Schmezel had a bogey-free 63 to match Peiyun Chien (65) at 13 under.
Azahara Munoz (68) and Hyo Joo Kim (67) were 12 under.
