NFL Rumors: Haason Reddick's Contract Details, Bonuses Revealed After Jets Holdout

Haason Reddick's lengthy holdout with the New York Jets may not have achieved all that much in the short term.

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio shared the details of Reddick's amended one-year contract with New York.

His $8.7 million base salary reflects the seven weeks he missed from the regular season. The two-time Pro Bowler can earn another $791,628 if he's on the field for at least 40 percent of New York's defensive snaps the rest of the way.

He has more individual and team-based performance incentives that were added and tied to his sack total and whether the Jets reach the Super Bowl.

Once he collects eight sacks, Reddick will collect $500,00 and then another $500,000 apiece for his ninth and 10th sacks. Getting to 12 sacks would mean pocketing another $550,000, per Florio.

Should New York reach the Super Bowl, the 30-year-old would earn $2 million as long as he's on the active roster.

The new incentives add up to a little over $4.8 million.

If Reddick had simply played out the season on his original deal, he would've had a $14.5 million salary. Now, he's getting much less guaranteed money, and the odds of him hitting even some of his incentives aren't looking good.

The Jets are 2-6 and last in the AFC East. Fans have by and large written them off as Super Bowl contenders already.

Reddick's Week 8 debut wasn't all that encouraging, either. He failed to register a tackle in his 26 defensive snaps in a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots, leaving him with nine games to amass all of the necessary stats or impress enough to become a Pro Bowler or All-Pro. Those existing incentives carried over and are worth $500,000 apiece, per Florio.

Something is better than nothing when it comes to Reddick's current salary. Beyond the lost earnings, the fines were adding up in a big way as he sat out.

In addition, carrying the holdout through the entire season wasn't realistic because that risked the 2024 campaign not counting toward Reddick's service time. He would've still been on the Jets' books for 2025 rather than becoming a free agent.

But a better look at the finances shows how much the veteran edge-rusher's defiant stance backfired on him.
