Jets Rumors: NY Not 'Fretting' Potential 'Nasty' Contract Holdout with Haason Reddick

The New York Jets traded a conditional third-round pick in 2026 to the Philadelphia Eagles for edge-rusher Haason Reddick this offseason, replacing the departed Bryce Huff (who signed with Philly).

It was an exciting move for an already excellent Jets' defense, though it has quickly soured, as Reddick has skipped the team's entire offseason program while seeking a contract extension.

Not the best start to a relationship. But according to ESPN's Rich Cimini, "The Jets don't seem to be fretting the possibility of a nasty holdout. Chances are, they will find common ground by sweetening his existing contract."

Reddick, 29, is entering the final year of his current deal and is likely expecting a major payday, given his four straight seasons registering double-digit sacks. The Jets surely knew the veteran pass-rusher would seek an extension this offseason, so the current situation couldn't have come as too much of a surprise.

All that remains to be seen is when, or if, such an extension gets done, and whether Reddick remains away from the team until it does.
