Jets Rumors: Haason Reddick Holding Out of Training Camp for New Contract After Trade

After being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New York Jets this offseason, star edge rusher Haason Reddick has made it clear that he's not satisfied with his contract.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Reddick is set to hold out of training camp while he awaits an adjustment to his contract. He skipped the Jets' entire offseason program so far, including mandatory minicamp in June.

Reddick is in the final year of his contract and will make $14.5 million this season. ESPN's Rich Cimini noted that his salary ranks 19th among edge rushers, which isn't reflective of his production as he has a total of 50.5 sacks over the last four seasons. Despite his production, the Eagles were willing to ship him away because they knew he was unhappy with his current deal.

In the deal with the Eagles, the Jets gave up a conditional 2026 third-round pick to the Eagles that becomes a second-round pick if Reddick plays 67.5 percent of the snaps and records at least 10 sacks this season. New York also lost its best sack leader Bryce Huff, who signed with Philadelphia and made Reddick expendable.

Reddick is facing a mandatory fine of $50,000 per day during his holdout. Cimini added that the Jets were "surprised" by the 29-year-old's stance because they "were under the impression" that he "was content to play out the final year of his contract and hit free agency."

The 2024 season is crucial for the Jets, as they are hoping the return of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers will help them end their 13-year playoff drought. Reddick was expected to play a major role for New York in its quest to return to the postseason, but it's clear that the two sides have a lot to figure out before he takes the field for Gang Green.
