Reddick hired Drew Rosenhaus.
“We look forward to working with the Jets to get this resolved as soon as possible,” Rosenhaus said. “Haason would like to be a New York Jet for years to come and our goal is to make that happen.”
LOLZ. You'll take your 1 year 15 million dollar deal (pro-rated) and like it. Prove yourself and MAYBE we can talk in February.
What exactly does Reddick need to do to "prove" himself? He's had 50.5 sacks the last 4 years for 3 different teams.
He your cousin or something?
Paying 30 year olds at athleticism-centric positions generally isn't great business.
This is a likely non playoff team that might be blowing things up with a new coach and starting over at qb this winter. Giving this guy a 3 year top of the market now would be insanity.
just came out that one of the conditions of the Reddick trade with Philly was it goes up to a 2d if he is traded to the NFC - so there goes half his market. Either an AFC team steps up to deal for him or he can sit out the rest of the year and have his contract toll so he can do it again next year. Seriously doubt Drew lets him do that - he'll report then get "injured"
Also agree with TLEF - hes a 30 yr old pass rusher who hasnt played at all in close to a year - more if he sits out the entire year....seriously doubt someone pays him crazy $ - def wont be the Jets
Not wanting to pay Reddick due to age and hoping to just get one year out of him and let him go and saying he needs "prove" it for a new contract are two totally different things. He's already proven it. But, as I said before, it is gross mismanagement by the Jets to even trade for Reddick who they
KNEW was looking for a new deal and then expect him to play out his contract. If he was willing to play out his contract, he'd still be in Philly.
its been covered - seems like there was miscommunication or misrepresentation by one or both sides. Jets felt that he would come in and play on his deal. Obviously that wasnt the case and/or something changed. Regardless it really doesnt matter much to the Jets as he has to come in at some point or he is stuck for another year. Trust me no Jet fan is waiting on Reddick at this point
If your point is the Jets shouldnt have made the deal without a firm contract/written guarantee - probably true but lots of these things are done by the honor system. Being fired by CAA leads me to believe they think Reddick is in the wrong as agents rarely fire clients. But who cares at this point - Reddick is losing a prime earning year as he enters 30 yrs old and Jets have nothing to show for it - As for the 3rd rder in 2026 - whatever - they'll either trade him for something or he leaves and they'll get a comp pick.
Trust me the Jets have much bigger issues than Reddick!
It doesn't make logical sense that Reddick would communicate that he would play under his current contract to the Jets, but not his hometown team, the Eagles. The Jets either knew, or should have known that Reddick wasn't going to play out the season on his current deal simply based on the fact that he was on the market in the first place. If you're going to make a deal for him, you do so with the presumption that you're extending him. I have almost zero doubt that the Eagles granted, or would have granted the Jets permission to contact Reddick's agent to see what his asking price was before a trade was agreed upon. I don't think it was a miscommunication, I think it was a miscalculation by the Jets. They knew Reddick was looking for a new contract and thought that they could just play hardball with him, and that he would eventually show up week one with his tail tucked to avoid losing money. He stuck to his guns and here we are. You're right though, the Jets have bigger issues than Reddick, it starts at the top and permeates its way down to the product on the field.
