Jets' marquee acquisition's holdout creates another headache for HC Robert Saleh

With quarterback Aaron Rodgers' minicamp drama seemingly behind him, head coach Robert Saleh and the New York Jets now have another headache to deal with.

The Jets landed two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Haason Reddick in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a conditional 2026 draft pick.

Per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo , the 29-year-old is due $14.25M in base salary in 2024.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday that a "full-blown extension" may be "unlikely," but a contract adjustment for this season would "likely" bring Reddick to camp.

The former 13th overall pick spent the first four seasons of his career with the Arizona Cardinals from 2017-20 before signing with the Carolina Panthers for the 2021 campaign. Reddick joined the Eagles in March 2022 and has been one of the best pass rushers in the NFL over the past two seasons.

The Temple University product led the league in forced fumbles (five) in 2022 and was second in sacks (16.0) that year as well. Reddick finished the 2022 season as a second team All-Pro, earning his first Pro Bowl honor and finishing fourth in the AP Defensive Player of the Year voting.

He was a Pro Bowler again in 2023 after leading Philadelphia in tackles for loss (13) and sacks (11.0), while tying for the top spot in quarterback hits (23). Reddick has been remarkably consistent over the past four years, posting between 11.0 and 16.0 sacks each season.
