2026 Outlook
Veteran edge rusher who signed a one-year deal with Tampa Bay in March 2025 after previous stops in Arizona (drafted 2017), Carolina, Philadelphia (Pro Bowl 2022-2023), and New York Jets. Entering his 10th season at age 31, Reddick remains a productive pass-rusher despite recent injury concerns and declining snap totals.
In 2025, Reddick battled ankle and knee injuries, missing four games mid-season. Over the full year, he recorded 31 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, 6 QB hits, 1 pass defensed, and 1 forced fumble. Most tellingly, he posted 32 QB pressures on 288 pass rush snaps (11.1% pressure rate per NFL Next Gen Stats), maintaining elite-level pressure generation despite low sack total. This suggests his decline is partially driven by injury recovery rather than lost edge.
Reddick ranks 229th on Pro Football Focus' Top 250 Free Agents for 2026, indicating likely free agency or reduced role. His career accomplishments remain impressive: 455 total tackles, 61.5 sacks, 108 QB hits, 18 forced fumbles across 137 regular-season games. Made All-Pro second-team in 2022 and finished 4th in DPOY voting that year, posting 16.0 sacks with the Eagles (per 2026 Bucs Free Agent Focus: Outside Linebacker Haason Reddick).
Free agency watch (late June): Reddick remains unsigned into late June. Analysts view him as best fit for Dallas Cowboys as a high-quality rotational edge rusher; Dallas has historically taken flyers on veteran defensive talent with concerns and could view this as upside swing (per Former Fan Favorite Eagles Edge Named as Best Free Agent for Rival Cowboys).
Role / Depth Chart
Backup/rotational edge rusher on the Buccaneers defensive line. Competing for snaps with team's primary edge rushers in defensive packages.
Injury Status
Battled ankle and knee injuries in 2025, missing four games mid-season. Limited effectiveness down the stretch (1 sack in 6 games following return). Monitor for full health recovery heading into 2026 season. Average get-off at snap remains elite (0.80 seconds per NGS), suggesting lower-body mobility intact despite injury recovery.
