League Executives Think Jets Will Need To Trade Haason Reddick
2 months agoMultiple league executives think that the New York Jets will eventually need to explore flipping pass-rusher Haason Reddick via trade, as their contract impasse with him has no end in sight. Reddick remains on the Reserve/Did Not Report list and has forfeited a $791,666 game check on top of the more than $5 million in NFL-mandated fines he accumulated by holding out in training camp. "Not sure they have a choice," an NFC executive said. "They wouldn't get similar value back [a third-rounder], but it would be hard [for the Jets] to pay him at this point, and he clearly doesn't want to be there. Both sides badly mismanaged the situation." The Jets acquired the 29-year-old defensive end from the Philadelphia Eagles in the offseason, but his holdout extended into the regular season when he didn't play in the Monday night loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Stay tuned.
