Josina Anderson: Jets and Haason Reddick Making Progress

[JetNation]

NFL Insider Josina Anderson has some good news for Jets fans as she claims Gang Green is making progress toward a new deal for holdout Haason Reddick.

According to Anderson, the talks between Reddick and the Jets have “progressed positively” and there is hope that the time is approaching for Reddick to be present and getting acclimated to the club.

The Jets sent a future third round draft choice to the Eagles for Reddick this off-season with the understanding he would be willing to participate in OTA’s and training camp without a contract extension.  But when the time came, Reddick decided not to turn up as he seeks a new deal.

Currently slated to make $14.5 million in what is now the final year of his deal, Reddick is said to be looking for top-tier money based on what has been elite sack production (50.5) with the Eagles, Panthers and Cardinals over the past four seasons.

I don't know how to feel about this ... Hopefully Joe doesn't overpay .. also hope it's a fair deal ... But most of all I hope we don't have a Wilkerson situation in the making. It will be great to end the distraction and settle down the worry some had about the DL. Edge wasn't a position I was stressed about.

Partial guarantee of the $ currently on his deal for injury. That’s it! Team trying to get younger, not older. Let him ball and then let him walk or get tagged. I’m ok with either of those, but do not give a 3-4 year deal with heavy guarantees.

Breece & AVT contract will need to be sorted after this season and GW, Sauce & JJ on the horizon.

[Big Snell]

I don't blame Reddick. I wouldn't risk getting hurt without at least some guarantee of pay on a contract.

As a vested veteran, his salary becomes fully guaranteed if he’s on the roster opening day, so that’s not a realistic option. I don’t think the Jets want to give him multiple years, and that that’s the problem. I’d probably add makable incentives based on performance that boost his pay if he continues to perform at the same level. 
 
Reddick needs to play this smart for himself, too. He needs to get into camp, get up to speed in this defense, and excel on the field for his next contract - wherever that will be. He’ll have the opportunity to put up big numbers with this team. The Jets will want him to pin his ears back and attack the passer. He may not love his current situation but, in this defense, he can put up a career year and cash in next season.

Thanks for that info. Wasn’t aware of the vested veteran wording in the CBA

Reddick should thrive in this defense. Both sides want a deal to get done.

Spot on and I believe if reddick leaves after the season the jets get a 3rd back

so basically a wash on the trade 

maybe jd does know what he is doing?

[jgb]

No excuse for a new deal not to have been a contingent of the trade to begin with.

I would agree if the trade compensation was any higher than a 3rd in 2026.

Not necessarily - comp picks aren't a given for FA departures. You have to lose more than you sign, which is why the Jets won't get a comp pick for losing Huff.

It's not about the draft capital, it's about JD leaving his ass completely exposed at the table negotiating compensation.

Reddick will be starting game 1. As far as the compensation goes, does a 4th-5th round pick (equivalent on a 2026 3rd rounder) seem excessive for one of the best pass rushers in the league? I don't think so.

Well here is how I see it.

Reddick needs to play this season if he wants to see that last big contract. I feel holding out the year isn't an option for him. I think JD realizes this as well while also realizing he can't just expect him to play on his existing contract. I think JD feels he can negotiate a deal that will get an all pro pass rusher on the team for 2024 for what most would consider a bargain deal. He felt it was worth risking a 2026 3rd round pick.

I don't think JD has any intentions of signing Reddick long term. We have too many other players that will need to be addressed. He should just ensure that Reddick gets a fair deal for one year so he can audition to the rest of the league for his final contract. It's not coming from us.

All things that should've been managed before the trade became official

I disagree and I've laid out why. Reddick can't hold out. He will be playing at SF. Book it.

You’ve nicely outlined why I’m not concerned about the Reddick holdout. He needs to play this year to get that next big bag he’s looking for.
 

The Jets are in no rush to make any long term commitments. They gave up the equivalent of a 5th this year for a short term rental. If they decide he’s so good that they need to give him the bag, they can do that, too. Either way, he’ll be there opening day.

Yes, your prediction is they sign him to a 1 year deal to get him to play. My position is such things are always better for the team to finalize before they're traded for the problem.

[Larz]

This could drag on to week one. Both sides are “wrong” but both sides think they are right. 

……IF reports are true…..

JD made a massive miscalculation finalizing a trade for a player that was available for trade because he wanted an extension without locking him into a deal first. 
 

Reddick went back on his word to report to camp and negotiate. 
 

I think JD learned during the Rodgers trade negotiations that holding your water and waiting pays off. Don’t blink first. 
 

I dont expect Reddick to be in the fold until September. 
 

It shouldn’t matter much though. Look at Chris Jones last year. Signed week 1 and went to the Super Bowl

More fact than position, it’s going to be messy.

They can’t, that’s why players do hold in. Show up, fake an injury and not be fined

 

[extmenace]

I’ll be shocked if he gets anything other than a raise / a fully guaranteed check for this season. I’ve said this a few times but think about this offseason…not a single long term deal given out. No extensions. Nothing but 1 year deals or guys playing on deals that have already been agreed upon in a previous season. I personally believe that woody has limited what JD is allowed to do this year so that in the event that he has to clean house, there is an open slate for the next guy to work with. I don’t see a long term deal happening. Maybe I’m wrong but everything we’ve seen this offseason sure looks looks like that is what is happening. Reddick got traded to the wrong team if he was aiming for a big extension. This team can’t give it to him.

My mistake on the 3rd back if reddick leaves

[BornJetsFan1983]

Sign this beast. Pay him da money! Multiple year deal

Once Reddick is in camp, what's the pivot?

They could just do what the Chiefs did with Jones: slip the money back into the extension via easy to reach incentives.

Without looking it up, I’m gonna guess it goes right back into the owners’ pocket
