Haason Reddick’s fines for Jets holdout starting to rack up

Haason Reddick’s quest for a bigger contract from the Jets keeps costing him more money by the day.

When Reddick did not report Sunday for the sixth day of training camp, he became subject to a 15 percent forfeiture of his prorated bonus, under the terms of the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The forfeiture, which is a mid-six-figures penalty, increases by 1 percent each day that Reddick does not join his teammates — he was not at practice Monday, either — up to 25 percent.

The Jets already are fining Reddick a non-forgivable $50,000 per day for each missed day of camp, on top of the at least $50,000 fine that he received for skipping mandatory minicamp in June and the $250,000 workout bonus that he did not collect for skipping the voluntary offseason program.

The bonus forfeiture is at the discretion of the team and could run the total tab up near $1 million.

Head coach Robert Saleh is “assuming” that the Jets will impose the discretionary fine, but it might make sense to tread lightly given that the ultimate goal is to get the 29-year-old edge rusher on the practice field.

“I don’t know the answer to the choice part, but I know that he is subject to a fine,” Saleh said. “Our coaches are all speaking to him and all that. From a business standpoint, he’s got to do what he’s got to do. If this is what he feels is the best choice for him and his family, that’s what he’s got to do.”

Reddick, who has 50.5 sacks over the last four seasons, was seeking a new contract from the Eagles last season.

Before finalizing the trade with the Eagles, the Jets made an extension offer to Reddick that would have upped his salary from a below-market $14.25 million this season, sources told The Post’s Brian Costello.

Reddick declined and the Jets proceeded with the trade anyway to make up for losing free agent Bryce Huff to the Eagles.

The Jets’ stance is not to negotiate with a player who is not in camp or one who is staging a “hold-in” in which he claims to be injured after reporting.

In other words, talks could resume once Reddick is on the field.

Just when you think there are no new ways to describe 40-year-old future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers’ greatness, Tyler Conklin provided a new one when asked how he can build a rapport with the quarterback.

“So much of it is just trying to see the game through Aaron’s eyes,” Conklin said. “That’s kind of impossible because he’s kind of like the Oppenheimer of football, right? Just the way that he sees the game and processes it at the speed that he does is impressive.”

Will McDonald, the 2023 first-round pick who is expected to carry a heavier snap count as a second-year pro, still isn’t necessarily going to become an every-down player.

Why? Because the Jets’ way is to rotate a deep defensive line.

“The idea of three-down doesn’t apply to us,” Saleh said. “He can play three downs — there’s no doubt he can play three downs.”

Saleh invoked NBA great Steph Curry as an analogy for McDonald, who had three sacks while playing 16 percent of the defensive snaps as a rookie.

“Steph Curry can drive the line, post up like other guards,” Saleh said, “but you want him to shoot his 3-pointer, right? Keep launching those 3s.

“Will McDonald is an elite pass-rusher. Yes, he can do everything that we want him to do, but for him to get that next level of pass rush he’s got to show that he can run through people. He has to threaten people with power. It’s something that he has worked on.”
