Former Eagles LB Haason Reddick hires Drew Rosenhaus as agent amid holdout with Jets

Former Eagles LB Haason Reddick hires Drew Rosenhaus as agent amid holdout with Jets

Only Haason Reddick knows why he’s deciding to pass a million in salary for a holdout based on principles after being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New York Jets.

Reddick was shipped to the AFC East during the off-season and never reported after his introductory press conference. He held out for a new contract amid accusations that Joe Douglas and company reneged on an extension.

Reddick’s representatives, CAA reportedly had a restructured contract set with the Jets before the star pass rusher declined to report.   With that news, CAA parted ways with Reddick.

Now the pass rusher has hired the legendary, Drew Rosenhaus.

Thanks to his contract structure, Reddick has forfeited nearly $800,000 per game, totaling over $4 million in salary for no apparent reason. Since the start of Jets training camp, he has accumulated over $5 million in NFL-mandated fines that can’t be rescinded.

Last season, Reddick finished 15th in the league with 11 sacks and made his second straight Pro Bowl.

He recorded double-digit sacks for the fourth consecutive season, leading his team in that category and tying for 15th in the NFL. Outside of the sacks, though, Reddick’s numbers were poor by his standards.

His 38 tackles were the second-lowest mark of his career, and he didn’t force or recover a fumble after forcing five and recovering three last season.

The Jets are less than a week away from opening up the regular season on the road against the 49ers on a Monday night, and their top pass rusher is still not reporting to the team.

After Trent Williams headed to San Francisco to sign a revised contract, former Eagles pass rusher and Jets holdout Haason Reddick remains away from the team.

Jets GM Joe Douglas didn’t secure a new contract for the pass rusher upon making the trade. Reddick skipped his new team’s voluntary offseason activities, including the mandatory minicamp.

Reddick didn’t attend training camp either and has previously requested a trade.

Last season, Reddick finished 15th in the league with 11 sacks and made his second straight Pro Bowl.

He recorded double-digit sacks for the fourth consecutive season, leading his team in that category and tying for 15th in the NFL. Outside of the sacks, though, Reddick’s numbers were poor by his standards.

His 38 tackles were the second-lowest mark of his career, and he didn’t force or recover a fumble after forcing five and recovering three during the 2022 season.

Like Parrish Smith of EPMD, Eagles GM Howie Roseman saw it coming, trading Haason Reddick to the Jets after signing Bryce Huff away for a three-year, $51 million deal.

Jets GM Joe Douglas didn’t secure a new contract for the pass rusher upon making the trade. Reddick skipped his new team’s voluntary offseason activities, including the mandatory minicamp.

Reddick didn’t show up for training camp either, and now, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, he wants to be traded again.

Last season, Reddick finished 15th in the league with 11 sacks and made his second straight Pro Bowl.

He recorded double-digit sacks for the fourth consecutive season, leading his team in that category and tying for 15th in the NFL. Outside of the sacks, though, Reddick’s numbers were poor by his standards.

His 38 tackles were the second-lowest mark of his career, and he didn’t force or recover a fumble after forcing five and recovering three last season. His snap share (74 percent) remained identical, indicating the drop-off wasn’t due to a lack of opportunities but mismanagement from coaches.

The Haason Reddick era in Philadelphia could end shortly, as the All-Pro pass rusher has been permitted to seek a trade ahead of the new league year.

Reddick finished the 2023 season with 11.0 sacks and 38 tackles in 17 regular-season games, and he recorded double-digit sacks for the fourth consecutive season, leading his team in that category and tying for 15th in the NFL.

Like Darius Slay last offseason, Reddick told Jordan Schultz that he did not request a trade.

With the Super Bowl completed and offseason business set to pick up, here are four takeaways from Reddick’s rebuttal.
