Haason Reddick’s Jets holdout has become absolutely absurd
NY Post
The Jets took to the practice field just before noon on Saturday to engage in their final preparations before Monday’s season opener with the 49ers.
There was not much notable about who was on the field. What was more notable was who was not.
Haason Reddick continued to stay away despite a new story on Friday night that he was about to report. It has now been five months since the Jets traded a 2026 conditional third-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for the pass rusher. It also has been five months since the Jets have seen Reddick.
This has become the most absurd holdout in memory.
Reddick is asking for a raise from a team he has not played for — heck, that he has not even practiced for. He has no leverage. The Jets have been clear in their actions and (as far as we know) their words that they are not going to give him the contract extension he is seeking.
The smart play here is for Reddick to show up and ball out. The Jets look like they are going to have a good team and almost certainly a good defense. Playing on a defense alongside Quinnen Williams, Jermaine Johnson, Sauce Gardner, C.J. Mosley, Quincy Williams and D.J. Reed should help Reddick do his job at a high level.
