Haason Reddick ends the holdout and agrees to a contract restructuring with the Jets

Haason Reddick and the New York Jets agreed to an adjusted contract, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. Reddick plans to report to the team on Monday morning.

Rosenhaus says they will continue discussions with the Jets about a long-term deal. According to sources at Rosenhaus and the team, the restructured deal will offset the more than $12 million in fines Reddick has accumulated since his recusal began. These fines cannot be waived between the league and players, according to the CBA's rules.

Reddick finished fourth in 2022 Defensive Player of the Year voting with the Philadelphia Eagles and followed that with another Pro Bowl season in 1923. Reddick, who turned 30 in September and was due $14.25 million in the final season of a three-year deal signed before the 2022 season, sought a new contract in line with the top pass this offseason -Rushers throughout the NFL (in area). of $25 million per season). The Eagles weren't interested in negotiating a new deal, so they let Reddick and his agent at the time – Tory Dandy of CAA – talk to other teams about a trade. According to league sources, few teams were interested in a trade due to Reddick's desired salary, but the Jets acquired Reddick in March for a conditional third-round pick in 2026 because they believed he was willing to join without a new contract Report team.

The Jets needed Reddick after losing edge rusher Bryce Huff to the Eagles in free agency and trading defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers to the Denver Broncos. The need grew when starting defensive back Jermaine Johnson tore his Achilles tendon in Week 2, but Reddick stayed away.

Reddick appeared at his introductory press conference in April and said he would do everything he could to help the Jets win. However, he has not been at the team facility since then and refused to show up without a new contract as the Jets refused to negotiate until he reported. He requested a trade in August, but the Jets publicly stated they would not consider him.

There was no progress, so CAA dropped Reddick as a customer earlier this month. Rosenhaus was hired by Reddick to make a difference. The Jets gave Rosenhaus permission last week to discuss a trade with other teams within a 48-hour window. When a trade didn't happen, the Jets and Rosenhaus returned to the negotiating table.

Now the Jets have finally brought Reddick into the mix — and they could use his help, even if his arrival won't necessarily solve their biggest problem (stopping the run) as much as he'll bring elite pass-rushing skills.

The Jets, who are 2-4 heading into a road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, are hoping Reddick's arrival doesn't come too late to make an impact as they try to turn their season around.
