Haason Reddick’s agency, CAA, has parted ways with him, a team source said.
This is the latest development in the ongoing saga between Reddick and the New York Jets. New York traded for Reddick this offseason, sending a conditional 2026 third-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles. Reddick, however, has not reported to the Jets and requested a trade from the franchise in August.
Reddick had established himself as one of the NFL’s best pass rushers. He felt like he earned a raise this offseason after finishing fourth in Defensive Player of the Year voting following a 16-sack season in 2022 and 11 sacks and 23 quarterback hits in 2023. But the Eagles wouldn’t give him the raise he sought and instead allowed him to seek a trade.
The Jets then picked up Reddick knowing he wanted a contract adjustment. New York made a below-market offer before the trade, but Reddick turned it down, and the Jets moved forward with the acquisition without a new deal in place. The Jets said they didn’t make a new offer on a long-term extension because Reddick’s agent informed the team that he would play under his current contract. However, Reddick’s camp believed the Jets would do a deal and trusted this would get done by training camp.
Five weeks into the 2024 season, Reddick hasn’t played a snap, forfeiting nearly $4.2 million of his non-guaranteed base salary of $14.25 million. (Reddick also skipped all offseason team events, collecting more than $8 million in total fines so far this year, per ESPN.)
Earlier this week, Jets team owner Woody Johnson pleaded for Reddick to join the team.
“Haason, get in your car, drive down I-95 and come to the New York Jets,” Johnson said Tuesday.
