Haason Reddick Holds Out While Jets Negotiate with New Agents

Monday, October 14th, 2024

Haason Reddick, the holdout pass rusher from the New York Jets, recently secured new representation after being dropped by his longtime agency last week. He has now hired Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha as his agents.

Drew Rosenhaus has already initiated discussions with the Jets and communicated to ESPN's Adam Schefter his optimism about resolving the ongoing dispute swiftly.

Rosenhaus expressed to Schefter, "We look forward to working with the Jets to get this resolved as soon as possible. Haason would like to be a New York Jet for years to come, and our goal is to make that happen."

Rosenhaus also plans to attend the upcoming game on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills, where he is expected to meet with the Jets' officials.

Reddick, 30 years old, was acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles on March 29 and is currently the NFL's only remaining holdout. The situation took an unexpected turn last week when CAA, his former agency, ceased representing him. CAA and the Jets were negotiating a revised contract, but Reddick reportedly remained firm in his demand for a long-term extension.

The holdout has become one of the most unusual in recent NFL history. Jets owner Woody Johnson publicly urged Reddick to report to the team, inviting him to drive to the team's facility and promising a warm welcome and success.

Reddick resides in Camden, New Jersey, approximately 90 minutes from the Jets' training facility. Since the trade, he has stayed away from all team activities, resulting in him losing around $4.7 million in game checks and accumulating an additional $5 million in NFL-imposed fines.

When acquired by the Jets, Reddick had one year remaining on his contract with a base salary of $14.25 million, which was not guaranteed
