The Jets needed Haason Reddick, for whom they traded on March 29, before Jermaine Johnson was injured. They need him more now.
Joe Douglas sat quietly in the second row of the press box Sunday, watching his team eke out its first win of the season — aHopefully, it spurred him to make a call Sunday night or Monday to Haason Reddick ’s agent, Tory Dandy, in an effort to end the stubborn nonsense that’s become the story of the pass rusher’s bizarre holdout from the team.The Jets needed Reddick, for whom they traded on March 29 in exchange for a conditional 2026 third-round pick from the Eagles, before Johnson was injured.
According to ESPN, if Reddick holds out all year, it will cost him approximately $21.75 million — his $14.25 million base salary, $4.5 million in fines and another $3 million in bonus forfeiture.In the big picture, regardless of how badly the Jets need Reddick, they hold the most significant card here. Because if he fails to join the team by Week 10, he won’t get credit for the 2024 season and would remain Jets property in 2025.
Reddick, who’s in the final year of his three-year contract, has not let it be publicly known exactly what he wants. Hopefully for everyone’s sake, the Jets and Reddick can stop the foolishness that’s taken place for the past four months, push aside the acrimony and come to a compromise and help everyone win.Everyone knows this is a win-or-else season for Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets, with the Aaron Rodgers window open for only so long, are in all-in mode.Saleh has repeatedly said the team would “welcome him with open arms” if and when Reddick returns to the team.
