Haason Reddick and the New York Jets have reached an agreement on an adjusted contract, the standout edge rusher’s agent told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, ending his prolonged holdout.
“We will continue to work towards a long-term extension with the Jets,” agent Drew Rosenhaus, who negotiated the adjusted contract along with Jason Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha, told Schefter on Sunday.
Reddick will report to the Jets on Monday morning. The Jets agreed to waive more than $12 million in fines in exchange for Reddick honoring his contract for the remainder of the season and returning to the team.
Jets owner Woody Johnson was said to be “very involved in working this out” with Rosenhaus and never had any intention of trading Reddick, despite teams’ inquires.
Reddick, 30, was acquired in a March trade with the Philadelphia Eagles and is seeking an extension that will pay him commensurate with the NFL’s top edge rushers. The Jets didn’t renegotiate his contract at the time of the trade because they claimed he told them he’d play under his existing contract.
Reddick has skipped all team events since the spring, forfeiting $4.8 million in game checks plus accruing another $5 million in NFL-mandated fines. Had he not reported to the Jets by Week 13, Reddick would not have received credit for the season and his contract would have tolled, meaning his 2025 rights will belong to the Jets.
