The Jets haven’t seen Haason Reddick since he passed his physical following a March 29 trade from the Eagles. The edge rusher skipped the entire voluntary offseason program, including the mandatory minicamp, and he continues his training camp holdout.
He may never play a down for the Jets.
Reddick requested a trade from the Jets, via multiple reports. For Reddick, the Jets traded a conditional 2026 third-round pick, which could become a second-rounder if he reaches 67.5 percent of playing time and at least 10 sacks.
Reddick, who has 50.5 sacks and 83 quarterback hits the past four seasons with the Cardinals, Panthers and Eagles, was seeking a new contract before the trade. He has a non-guaranteed, $14.25 million remaining on the final year of his current deal.
Rather than pay Reddick, the Eagles signed former Jets defensive end Bryce Huff to a three-year, $51.1 million free agent deal.
The Jets placed Reddick on the reserve/did not report list at the start of camp, so he wouldn’t count against the team’s roster limit or their salary cap.

Jets say they won’t trade Haason Reddick as contract standoff escalates
Acquired from the Eagles in a trade this spring, Reddick is entering the final year of a contract that is now below the market for premier pass-rushers.
In an apparent escalation of their contract standoff with pass rusher Haason Reddick, the New York Jets used a public statement Monday to confirm reports that he asked for a trade — and to say it was not on the table.
“We have informed Haason that we will not trade him,” Jets General Manager Joe Douglas said in the statement, “that he is expected to be here with his teammates, and that he will continue to be fined per [the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement] if he does not report.”
Reddick, who is entering the final, non-guaranteed year of a three-year, $45 million contract he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, was acquired by the Jets in March via trade. Apart from an introductory media session shortly after that transaction, Reddick has stayed away from his new team through offseason workout programs, a mandatory minicamp and 21 days thus far of training camp.

The trade request comes as a result of a failure to come together on a new contract, or even convince Reddick to show up for camp, per Rapoport.
It appears the Jets aren’t budging, either, digging in by quickly releasing a statement on the matter Monday afternoon.
Reddick, set to earn $14.25 million in the final year of his contract, originally landed in New York as a result of his discontent with his existing deal, which prompted the Eagles to seek a trade partner to move him. They found one in the Jets, who were happy to send the Eagles a conditional 2026 third-round pick for the 29-year-old edge rusher.
With two Pro Bowls and 50.5 sacks to his name over the last four seasons, it seemed like an easy decision for the Jets, who replaced the departed Bryce Huff with a proven veteran capable of changing a game with his pass-rushing ability. Months later, they’ve come to realize money remained a huge factor for Reddick, and after failing to come close on an agreement, they might be forced to follow in the Eagles’ footsteps.
Reddick’s career began as an out-of-position inside linebacker with the Cardinals, who waited until his fourth (and final) season with the team to move him into a role that suited him best. Reddick responded accordingly, posting 12.5 sacks in a contract year with Arizona before leaving for a one-year stint with the Panthers, where he again excelled, logging 11 sacks. He’s been nothing but consistent since then, and only departed Philadelphia because the Eagles didn’t seem to be too interested in paying him.
