5 teams that could steal Haason Reddick from the Panthers in free agency
By Dean Jones
Which teams could potentially swoop for Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Haason Reddick if he hits the free-agent market in 2022?
To say Haason Reddick made a big impression with the Carolina Panthers would be an understatement. The outside linebacker emerged as one of the real bargains in free agency anywhere in the league, proving beyond all doubt his exceptional 2020 campaign with the Arizona Cardinals was the start of bigger things and not just a flash in the pan.
Reddick was a revelation flying off the edge after signing a one-year deal with the Panthers. Betting on himself was a shrewd move by the former first-round pick, who is now set to cash in when it’s time for his representatives to begin negotiations this spring.
The player has outlined his desire to remain in Carolina. Considering his production, those in power should do everything in their power to keep Reddick around in some capacity.
However, if this situation doesn’t go smoothly, here are five teams that would be willing to swoop in pursuit of stealing Reddick in free agency.
Which teams could steal Haason Reddick from the Carolina Panthers?
Team No. 1
Jacksonville Jaguars
Although the Jacksonville Jaguars locked up the No. 1 overall selection for a second-straight year, this situation might not be as bad as many people think. They have a franchise quarterback in Trevor Lawrence, some outstanding weapons on offense, and plenty of cap space for their new head coach to steady the ship moving forward.
Should the Jaguars land someone like Haason Reddick in free agency if the Carolina Panthers let him hit the market, it would allow them to acquire a game-changing prospect such as Alabama‘s stud left tackle Evan Neal in the draft.
Jacksonville has the financial resources to make this situation a reality. And the Florida sunshine might be a tempting proposition for Reddick.
