Jets DE Haason Reddick expected to hold out of training camp as he seeks new deal
Reddick was traded to the Jets from the Eagles on April 1
Haason Reddick will not be in attendance as the New York Jets opened training camp Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The 29-year-old defensive end has not received the extension he has been seeking since being dealt by the Philadelphia Eagles on April 1. He has one year left on his current deal and did not attend any events during the Jets' offseason schedule.
"He's in a really good place mentally, working his tail off like we already know," Jets head coach Robert Saleh said last month during the team's minicamp. "But he's choosing to sit out this one unexcused. ... The guy's a great dude. He's been in multiple places and played at a high level at multiple places. He's a pro, a seasoned vet and the last guy I'm worried about on whether or not he'll be ready to play football. He knows what he needs to do to get himself ready."
As per the NFL collective bargaining agreement, Reddick will be subject to a daily $50,000 fine for as long he's absent.
Reddick, who is scheduled to make $14.25 million this season, was dealt from the Eagles to the Jets for a conditional 2026 third-round draft pick that would turn into a second-round pick if he plays 67.5% of New York's defensive snaps or records 10 or more sacks in 2024.
Despite offseason reports, Reddick said in February that he never requested a trade from the Eagles while looking for a new contract.
Reddick, a two-time Pro Bowler and 2022 second-team All-Pro, has finished with at least 11 sacks in each of the past four seasons. The Jets are his fourth team since entering the league in 2017 with the Arizona Cardinals.
