Report: New York Jets give Haason Reddick, Drew Rosenhaus short window to seek trade

As the Haason Reddick holdout dilemma continues for the New York Jets, the franchise has reportedly given the star defender a short window to seek a trade.

“The Jets have given Haason Reddick and his reps a short window to seek a trade, per sources,” Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported. “His new representation, Drew Rosenhaus, has been reaching out to teams over the last 12 hours to gauge interest.”

Drew Rosenhaus took over Reddick’s situation when his former agency, CAA, decided to part way with current Jets linebacker due to his long holdout after being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles, as Reddick has yet to play a snap this season.

New York thought they made one of the moves of the offseason by acquiring Reddick via trade from Philadelphia. The Jets took on most of his contract, but also took a conditional third-round pick, assuming Reddick played 67.5% of snaps and recorded 10 sacks. Considering he has yet to play, the full value of the trade will not be realized.

Now, after collecting millions of dollars in fines and there being no end in sight for the pass rusher or the Jets, it seems like he could be on his way out of New York without ever suiting up for the franchise.

Over the past couple of seasons, Reddick has been one of the NFL’s top pass rushers, being voted to the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2023. Four straight years have we seen him recording double-digit sacks with a career-high 16 taking place in 2022 with the Eagles. Some of his production came while wearing Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers uniforms as well, making the Jets his fourth team in five years.

New York was hoping to get similar production when making the trade. Even with the lofty conditions, a third-round pick is valued by a ton of NFL general managers and good enough for Philadelphia to move on from Reddick. Now, if they decide to trade the linebacker, it’ll be fascinating to see if they can recoup their assets in a potential move.
