In a surprise move, standout edge rusher Haason Reddick has reached an agreement with the New York Jets on an adjusted contract, ending his prolonged holdout. The deal was negotiated by Reddick’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, along with Jason Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha.
A New Chapter for Reddick and the Jets
Reddick will report to the Jets on Monday morning, marking a new chapter in his relationship with the team. As part of the agreement, the Jets have waived over $12 million in fines, which Reddick had accrued during his holdout. In return, Reddick has agreed to honor his contract for the remainder of the season and return to the team.
A Key Player Returns
The 30-year-old edge rusher was acquired by the Jets in a March trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. Reddick has been seeking an extension that would pay him commensurate with the NFL’s top edge rushers. His return is a significant boost to the Jets’ defense, which has been missing his presence on the field.
Behind-the-Scenes Negotiations
Jets owner Woody Johnson played a key role in negotiations, working closely with Rosenhaus to reach a deal. Despite inquiries from other teams, Johnson never intended to trade Reddick, and the two parties were able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
What’s Next for Reddick and the Jets?
With Reddick’s return, the Jets are looking to move forward and focus on the rest of the season. The team will continue to work towards a long-term extension with Reddick, who is eager to prove himself as one of the league’s top edge rushers.
