Jets remain in sticky situation with superstar pass-rusher
The New York Jets have made no progress with superstar offseason acquisition Haason Reddick during his lengthy holdout.
Reddick has yet to participate in any team activities. The Jets’ 2024 NFL season starts in just over four weeks. The team is holding out hope that the standout linebacker enters their fold prior to Week 1 on Sept. 9. They’ll need him against a stout San Francisco 49ers team looking to defend their NFC crown. Though, Reddick appears to be dissatisfied with the dollars the Jets are willing to pay him for his contract extension.
According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, two anonymous NFL general managers lambasted the Jets’ front office for not getting on the same page with Reddick regarding how his contract situation would look upon coming to New York:
“The Jets should’ve executed a deal with Reddick before making the trade or, at the very least, established parameters,’ two agents not affiliated with Reddick told ESPN. One agent said he’s ‘super surprised’ they didn’t have an agreement in place with Reddick. The other agent said, ‘You don’t do a trade until you know what the parameters are.’” Cimini wrote.
