The New York Jets, a traditionally well-run and competent group, seem to have discovered themselves in a little bit of a pickle on Monday. Professional Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick, whom the Jets acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles in a commerce again on the finish of March, has now requested a commerce from the Jets!
What a world!
Reddick has been agitating for a brand new contract since final season ended and it’s the fundamental motive the Eagles felt snug buying the sack artist round this low season. On the time of the commerce between Philly and New York, it was reported that the Jets and Reddick’s camp had already been in touch, presumably in regards to the framework of a brand new contract, and but…right here we’re.
As a part of the commerce with the Eagles, Philly is about to get a conditional second-round decide in 2026 if Reddick information 10 sacks AND performs 67.5% of defensive snaps. Presumably the language of the commerce specifies that these circumstances must be met with Reddick as a member of the Jets, but it surely’ll be fascinating to see what occurs to the decide if he’s traded to a different workforce.
Throughout his two seasons in Philly, Reddick began all 34 video games and racked up some spectacular stats. He recorded 87 tackles (64 solo), 24 TFL, 27.0 sacks, 5 pressured fumbles, and three fumble recoveries. He additionally made the Professional Bowl each years and completed fourth within the AP Defensive Participant of the Yr voting in 2022.
The #Jets had been knowledgeable by Haason Reddick’s illustration that he would report and play below his present contract. That, clearly, has not occurred.

Reddick has solely set foot within the Jets amenities as soon as in 4 months, for his introductory press convention, and has racked up over $1.5 million in fines as he has skipped all of New York’s low season exercises and coaching camp. He’s within the third and ultimate yr of the contract he signed with Philadelphia in 2022 and is scheduled to make $14.25 million in base pay (non-guaranteed).
“We now have knowledgeable Haason that we are going to not commerce him, that he’s anticipated to be right here together with his teammates, and that he’ll proceed to be fined per the CBA if he doesn’t report,” Jets common supervisor Joe Douglas stated in an announcement, in case you’ll be able to’t learn the embedded tweet under. “Because the commerce discussions again in March we now have been clear, direct, and in step with our place. Our focus will stay on the fellows we now have right here as we put together for the common season.”
It’s value noting that the Jets wanted to commerce for an edge rusher as a result of they misplaced their starter (Bryce Huff) to the Eagles in free company. Wouldn’t it’s hilarious if the Birds introduced Reddick again and unleashed the 2 former (technically) Jets on NFC East quarterbacks?
What do you suppose?
Haason Reddick would look fairly good in an Eagles uniform.
