NFL Rumors: CAA Parts Ways with Jets' Haason Reddick amid LB's Contract Holdout

Creative Artists Agency parted ways with New York Jets pass-rusher Haason Reddick on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Reddick was acquired by the Jets in a March trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, although he hasn't played during the 2024 season after holding out for a new contract.

The 30-year-old still hasn't shown up to the team's facilities despite collecting "millions" in fines for missing regular-season games and his situation "currently has no end in sight," per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Reddick was previously represented by Tory Dandy and Jimmy Sexton, who are both managing partners and co-heads of CAA Sports' football division.

SNY's Connor Hughes revealed that the two-time Pro Bowler made the decision to skip reporting to training camp when he started his holdout on his own, and it wasn't due to advice from his representatives.

Reddick was set to earn a base salary of $14.25 million during the 2024 season. Schefter reported that as a vested veteran, his salary would have been guaranteed by being on the Jets' Week 1 roster.

If the Temple product holds out for the entire 2024 season, it'll cost him approximately $21.75 million. This includes $14.25 million lost in Paragraph 5 base salary, $4.5 million in fines and $3 million in discretionary bonus forfeiture (via Schefter).

Jets owner Woody Johnson discussed his confusion with the situation involving Reddick when speaking to reporters on Tuesday.

"This is something I've never seen before," he said, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. "You have to be part psychologist and part some other gist to try to figure out what is actually going on. I hope that the young man can come to the team. We'd welcome him with open arms. When he gets here, he'll find a very welcome locker room."

As Reddick continues his holdout in search of a new long-term contract, he'll also be looking for a new agency.
