After saying otherwise, the New York Jets have decided to change their tune regarding trading Haason Reddick.
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.
After previously requesting a trade, Jets owner Woody Johnson now confirmed that Reddick is now allowed to seek a trade.
When asked if Reddick was allowed to do so at the NFL owners’ meeting this week, Johnson simply replied “yes.”
The news of Reddick being allowed to do so comes after New York acquired wide receiver Davante Adams in a trade. With Adams now under contract, it’s hard to imagine a world where both would fit under the Jets’ salary cap.
The update from Johnson also comes after the team denied Reddick’s request to be traded in August.
Johnson’s comments can be found in the AP news clip below:
