When Jets pass rusher Haason Reddick arrived in a trade with the Eagles in March, he said: That person will be happy regardless Everything that happened with his contract. However, without a new contract, Reddick did not participate in any organized team activities for the Jets.
Reddick did not attend Here’s all the offseason action released to the media, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini. Reddick has not said his absence is related to his contract, but there is speculation that he wants a new deal. OTAs are voluntary, but most players attend.
When the Jets acquired Reddick, they acquired the final year of a three-year contract he signed with the Eagles in 2022. According to the contract, Reddick is due $15 million this season. None of that money is guaranteed, so Reddick certainly wouldn’t want to risk the Jets cutting him.
Reddick has shown the ability to make an immediate impact in any setting, including 12.5 sacks against the Cardinals in 2020, 11 sacks against the Panthers in 2021, 16 sacks against the Eagles in 2022, and 11 sacks against another Eagles defense in 2023. The Jets hope they can make that kind of impact in a new environment in 2024.
The Jets’ mandatory minicamp begins June 11.
