Haason Reddick ends Jets holdout, agrees to adjusted contract

More than six months after being traded to the New York Jets, Haason Reddick finally has decided to show up for work, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Reddick ended his contract holdout Sunday, the standout edge rusher's agent told ESPN's Adam Schefter, agreeing to an adjusted contract with the Jets.

"We will continue to work towards a long-term extension with the Jets," agent Drew Rosenhaus, who negotiated the adjusted contract along with Ryan Matha, told Schefter.

Reddick will report to the Jets on Monday morning. The two-time Pro Bowler will receive the remainder of his 2024 base salary -- approximately $9 million -- plus new incentives that will allow him to recoup the $12 million he lost in fines. By rule, a team can't waive offseason fines.

Rosenhaus told Schefter that Jets owner Woody Johnson was "very involved in working this out." The Jets had granted Reddick permission to seek a trade, but their intention was always to keep him, a source said.

The Jets (2-4) have added two pieces they hope can spark a turnaround, completing Reddick's return to the team five days after acquiring star wide receiver Davante Adams in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Reddick saga caps a strange chapter, even by the Jets' standards.

Reddick was acquired in a March trade with the Philadelphia Eagles and told the media he was "happy" with his new address. But he then refused to report to the team, requested a trade in training camp and got dumped by his longtime agency before hiring new agents.
