“Everything We Thought He Would Be Flying Around”
June 10th, 2025
Haason Reddick practiced today.
Ahhhhh, No. 5 was at mandatory mincamp practice today looking like a communicative player eager get the details right with teammates.
Joe was reading the body language of big-money Bucs free agent edge rusher Hasson Reddick, and it sure looked on point.
Reddick appears fit, too. And that’s how head coach Todd Bowles saw it.
“He came in in shape,” Bowles said after practice. “He flew around everything we thought he would be flying around. We’re happy with him.”
No Chris “Swaggy” Baker signing here. Reddick is a motivated guy, per Bucs officials, diligently training on his own before arriving in Tampa for spring practice.
Reddick looks the part, but so did Michael “Ghost” Johnson and a host of other edge rushers that have flowed through One Buc Palace with high hopes attached. Lots to prove.
Regardless, Joe was damn happy to see Reddick and how sharp his body looked. Joe is sure that was noticed by the all the young Bucs edge rushers hungry for some of Reddick’s snaps.
Joe asked Baker Mayfield to share any memories he has playing against Reddick or watching him on film in preparation for a game.
“He’s pretty damn fast off the edge,” Mayfield said. “He’s a great player. I know everybody wants to make a big deal about when he’s going to be here and when he’s not, but he’s a good guy and there’s a reason he signed here. He wants to help us win and we’re happy to have him.”

I’m thinking Reddick was busy last week moving in. Those boxes aren’t going to unpack themselves.

It’s not where his body was that matters; it’s where his head is at. Sounds like he’ll be good to go.

So far so good. I hope he adjusts to the heat here after working out in ????
For a vet like Reddick, it’s about communication. Joe reported he had a special on-field meeting with the front four, led by coach ???
I hope Braswell is joined at the hip with Reddick, those left side guys need to deliver.

I’d have him hanging around LVD & Winfield…..to keep his ‘tude in line

Many of us on here knew Reddick was the real deal. He found his perfect fit with the Bucs. So happy we got him.

Sure will be nice to have some pressure coming off the edge. We haven’t seen that the past several years.

This Year is all about the Putrid Pass Defense improving drastically and getting off the field on 3rd downs. And Yes, it starts upfront Pass rush wise. If we can get back to the days of 4 guys putting pressure on because they are all legit Pass Rushers and have an improved Def Secondary -watch out. And this Reddick guy is the Key to this whole year Defensively being honest. Go BUCS!!

I am optimistic that, by the end of the season, at this salary, Reddick could be seen as the best 2025 free agent signing in the entire NFL.

Jason might have made a deal almost as good as JPP.

Ghost Johnson had nowhere near the resume of Reddick, and he disappeared after he got paid, Reddick wants one more contract

This is sounding a lot better.
I was cautiously optimistic before and still think he should have attended the earlier OTAs, etc.
But he looks like he’s in great shape (at least from the pic), and he’s flying around the field.
I’ll take it.
I also like the idea someone else had, which is to keep him hanging around LaVonte and Tristan, to make sure his head stsys in the right place.

Happy he’s here, showed up and ready to go. Everyone realizes he’s going to play and audition for his next and last big contract. There’s No reason it’s not right here in Tampa Bay. It worked for many others including our QB, why not our DE?
LFG!

Next time The Joes start freaking out we need to remind them of this.
50th Year Celebration is happening with the Lombardi Trophy.
There is way too many positives showing this is the year.
Let’s win 3 in a row with Baker Freakin Mayfield.

I totally get the Cincy-burn references Joe.
The Bengals fleeced us and took out their trash x 2.

Reddick going to be 1 of the 3 ,10+ sack guys this season, I’m telling ya O Lines will not be able to slide protection Diabys way anymore ,This will allow Reddick,Diaby,Kancey to eat .

I had zero doubts that he would show up.
