New York Jets owner Woody Johnson had to answer for his decision to fire head coach Robert Saleh, but he also implored Haason Reddick to 'get in your car, drive down 95' to end holdout.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson spoke to reporters on Tuesday after the shocking move of firing head coach Robert Saleh after the team started 2-3 on the year. While he had a lot of questions on that front as defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich took over as head coach, he also spoke about another pressing issue for New York regarding edge rusher Haason Reddick. In fact, Johnson pleaded for Reddick to head to the team’s facility in Florham Park so they could finally get a deal done.
'You’ll fit right in, love it here, feel welcome and accomplish great things with us.' Reddick, 30, is coming off his second straight Pro Bowl season in which he totaled 11 sacks, 38 combined tackles and 23 quarterback hits for the Eagles. He’s tallied double-digit sacks in each of his last four seasons, making him someone who could add power off the edge for a Jets defense that has done well yet again to start the new year.
