Reddick’s new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has confirmed that the pass rusher and team have come to an agreement. In a follow-up report from Schefter, Reddick will play on his current deal but the Jets have agreed to waive all of the fines he had for not showing up. Those amounted to around $12 million.
The Jets traded for Reddick in a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles back in March. Almost right away his holdout began.
The saga was a rollercoaster which included trade requests and more, but it has come to an end.
Reddick’s addition to the defense will certainly be a pass-rushing boost. Reddick will still be watching from the sideline when New York travels to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 7.
Jets Wire will provide updates as information is made available.
