    Haason Reddick continues to no-show Jets with training camp holdout

    Haason Reddick is digging in on his standoff with the New York Jets .

    The two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher did not report to training camp Tuesday with the rest of the team.

    Reddick, 29, did not participate in the team's voluntary offseason program or mandatory minicamp after the Philadelphia Eagles traded him to the organization on April 1 . He is now subject to $50,000 fines for each day of camp missed. Those penalties cannot be waived since Reddick is not on his rookie contract.

    Reddick is set to earn $14.5 million in the final year of his deal this upcoming season. In Philadelphia, he pushed for a new deal after recording 27 sacks in the past two years and earned Pro Bowl nods in each campaign.

    Jets coach Robert Saleh said at mandatory minicamp that he had spoken with Reddick and was not concerned about the pass rusher's preparation.

    "The guy's a great dude," Saleh said. "He's been in multiple places and played at a high level at multiple places. He's a pro, a seasoned vet and the last guy I'm worried about on whether or not he'll be ready to play football He know what he needs to do to get himself ready."

    Reddick is expected to play a vital role for a Jets front that lost edge rusher Bryce Huff, who led the team with 10 sacks last year, to the Eagles in free agency.

    "I try to stay out of all that, but I know he's an amazing player, an amazing person," Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams said Tuesday. "And I know this organization is amazing at getting these things done in a decent time. He's a phenomenal player, and when he steps on the field, he changes the aura."
