Haason Reddick, OLB, Cardinals

Although linebacker Haason Reddick finished the 2020 season with 12.5 sacks, because the Arizona Cardinals declined his fifth-year option previously, he’s allowed to become a free agent this offseason.

With such a productive season, Reddick is due for a payday, and he is eager to prove his doubters wrong. “I watched, I listened, I saw what people said, and I won’t forget” (via PFT).

If the Cardinals do not bring Reddick back in, some feel that the Denver Broncos could be the best match for Reddick, and it’s a pairing that makes sense.

At just 26 years old, Reddick would bolster an up-and-coming pass-rush unit. Realistically, there are very few linebacker corps that wouldn’t want to add 12.5 sacks to their production. However, it is likely that Reddick would only be brought in if Von Miller departed Denver.

While we certainly want to see Von Miller finish his career with the Broncos, Haason Reddick is far from a shabby replacement if that does not work out.
