Haason Reddick’s ongoing holdout with the New York Jets is going to get costly in a hurry.
In April, the Jets acquired Reddick in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a conditional third-round pick in 2026.
Since then, he has refused to report over failed contract negotiations with the team.
As Gang Green preps to open their 2024 regular season schedule against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, a report ahead of kickoff noted how much he will forfeit by not playing. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the 29-year-old will have to pay nearly $800,000, per missed game during his hold out:
Jets hold-out edge rusher Haason Reddick will forfeit a game of check of nearly $800,000 for missing tonight’s regular-season opener vs. the 49ers, and an additional nearly $800,000 for each game he subsequently misses. This is on top of more than $5 million in NFL-mandated fines… pic.twitter.com/UXAWW7nfeX

Reddick continues to reside on the team’s reserve/did not report list. The pass rusher has been on that designation since the start of training camp.
After the Jets and Reddick failed to come close to an agreement, he requested a trade in August. Soon after that report, New York general manager Joe Douglas released a statement essentially denying the request.
Reddick has totaled 51 sacks over the past four seasons, which is fourth-most in the NFL in that time.
Jets Wire will provide updates as information is made available.
