The Eagles traded Reddick to the Jets in late March and it has been clear that Reddick wants a new contract after outplaying the three-year, $45 million deal he signed before the 2022 season.
Right now, he’s on the final year of that deal and wants a new one. Reddick’s base salary in 2024 is $14.25 million. That APY of $15 million from Reddick’s current contract ranks him tied for 19th in the NFL among edge rushers, according to OverTheCap. Over the last four seasons, Reddick has 50 1/2 sacks, which ranks fourth in the league behind just T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett and Trey Hendrickson.
The weird thing is that the Jets had to know that when they traded for Reddick but they didn’t have a new contract in place. Now that Reddick is skipping mandatory days, the Jets can fine him for his absence. If he misses all three days, the Jets can fine him a total of just over $100,000 in total.
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said on Tuesday he’s not concerned about whether or not Reddick will show up for training camp.
Robert Saleh on Haason Reddick: “The guy is a great dude. He’s played in a high level at multiple places. He’s a pro and seasoned vet. He’s the last guy I’m worried about will be ready to play football.”
