4 perfect landing spots for Haason Reddick in 2022 free agency

When one looks at landing spots that are tailormade for Haason Reddick, then the Miami Dolphins could very well fit the bill. Their defensive scheme coupled with an abundance of salary-cap space makes this a situation to monitor if the Carolina Panthers do end up letting the outside linebacker walk in free agency.
Even though the Dolphins failed to make the postseason despite a sensational end to the campaign, the defense was electrifying thanks to coordinator Josh Boyer’s preference for blitzing early and often with exotic schemes that brought substantial results.
This was something that bamboozled opposing offensive lines over the second half of the campaign. The Panthers were not exempt from this, with their protection crumbling at will during another disappointing loss that all but ended any hopes they had of making noise in the postseason.
Whether Reddick would want to go back into a 3-4 base scheme is uncertain. But Boyer’s defensive prowess and knack for putting his playmakers in the best possible position to succeed would no doubt interest the No. 13 overall selection in 2017.
Miami currently has $61.23 million available to spend. They do need some quality additions on the offensive line, but shelling out big bucks for someone like Reddick is another potential avenue those in power could explore.
