Jets, Pro Bowl LB Haason Reddick end stalemate, agree to reworked contract

Haason Reddick and the New York Jets ’ stalemate is over.

Reddick and the Jets reached a deal on an adjusted contract and he will report to the team on Monday, a person familiar with the situation told USA TODAY Sports. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the sensitivity of the matter. The Jets will waive more then $12 million in fines that Reddick incurred during his holdout that lasted more than six months after being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles .

ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the news .

Reddick’s re-worked deal runs through 2024. The Jets and the edge rusher will continue to work toward a new long-term extension.

The Jets acquired Reddick in a March trade with the Eagles after contract negotiations stalled in Philadelphia. But Reddick’s long-term deal didn’t materialize when he was traded to New York. The two-time Pro Bowler skipped the Jets’ entire offseason program, including mandatory minicamp, and didn’t report to training camp.

Reddick requested a trade in August. However, the Jets declined to trade their new acquisition .

Now fences appear to be mended.

Reddick is ending his holdout at a time when the Jets are gearing up to turn around their slow start. The Jets traded for star wide receiver Davante Adams to reunite him with quarterback Aaron Rodgers .

Adams is set to make his Jets debut Sunday night in Pittsburgh. Reddick could theoretically play in Week 8, but that will depend on his conditioning.

Reddick should be a big spark to a Jets defense. New York has 20 sacks this season, which is tied for third in the NFL. His return will help offset the loss of pass rusher Jermaine Johnson who suffered a season-ending torn Achilles.

The 30-year-old edge rusher has produced 410 tackles, 58 sacks and 69 tackles for loss in 114 career games.
