Haason Reddick sends emotional goodbye to Eagles after Jets trade

The Philadelphia Eagles completed a trade of veteran edge rusher Haason Reddick to the New York Jets last week, and he released a statement saying goodbye to Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, saying ‘thank you’ is not enough to express my gratitude for the love and support you showed me in my time as an Eagles,” Haason Reddick said in his statement. “Bird gang, it was an honor to play for you, as your love for the game and your city is a feat to behold. To my teammates, brothers forever. New challenges and teams will never sever the bond of friendship made on and off the field. To the Eagles organization, thank you for the opportunity to play in my home city. This was a dream for any kid growing up in Camden. To my family, you are the backbone of my life. Without you, I would have never been able to achieve my dreams. New York and #ganggreen, I’m excited for the next step in this journey. I cannot wait to get to work!”
