Time for Jets Brass to Green Light Haason Reddick Deal

[JetNation]

Jets GM Joe Douglas is in a bind, and he needs the green light from Jets ownership to write the check that will get him out of it.  Douglas needs Haason Reddick in the building at 1 Jets Drive ASAP following Jermaine Johnson’s season-ending injury that he suffered against the Tennessee Titans.

Reddick’s ugly holdout has resulted in $8 million in fines up to this point.  Those fines could climb to $21 million if he were to hold out for the entire season, but that can’t be allowed to happen.

We won’t pretend to have any inside info that tells us ownership has been refusing to pay Reddick, but reading the tea leaves suggests just that.

After all, it’s not Joe Douglas’ money to worry about.  The GM is trying to save his job this season.  In an effort to do that, he traded for Reddick.  He knew Reddick wanted a new deal and had apparently agreed to discuss a new contract if Reddick had showed up to work.  His understanding was the Reddick was on board with the plan.

As you know by now, Reddick was not okay with the plan, did not show up to work, and has not received a new contract.

With his job on the line, a defensive-minded head coach, Johnson injured and being down a couple of edge players in Bryce Huff and John Franklin-Myers, Douglas has every motivation to get a deal done.  Even with that being the case, not only is Reddick not in the building, but the sides aren’t even talking.  That has to change.

In looking at the deals the Jets gave out this season, almost all being of the 1-year variety, it does feel as if ownership is setting up for a potential house-cleaning if the team should miss the playoffs yet again.  This would suggest they’re not in favor of handing out muti-year deals for big money.

If that’s the case, an exception has to be made.  Give Douglas the green light to make an offer to Reddick in hopes of getting him in the building yesterday.

Time to work out some DTs too

Reddock won’t solve this 

What they’re putting on the field right now isn’t working

He will be signed in the next day or 2.  Thats not debatable.

We are extremely fortunate to have this as an option.

Pay him whatever he wants.  This team needs to win now!

LOL...

If Reddick wants to sign a 'deal' that largely guarantees this years money with a potential 'kick in' 2nd year based on incentives, I can see it.

If the Jets cave and give him more than that, they're idiots.

Ahhh...forget it.

Hassan Reddick is definitely worth it.  Give him what he wants.  We have a season to save with a QB who by your account is on his last legs....and a GM/HC who are on their last legs too apparently, according to you.  Let's throw a  $$ at a guy who never reported.  Good idea.

If you think JD traded for a guy who told him upfront he wouldn't report for a guaranteed new deal before camp, you're mistaken.

Reddick is the dick here....let's reward him.

Great.

This is a better plan then, "Lets not screw up the 2028 season!"

It’s already established the Jets were stupid to get to this point with Reddick
