Disgruntled linebacker Haason Reddick declined a one-year contract offer from the New York Jets earlier this season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport reported Sunday the Jets were prepared to give Reddick an amended deal that increased his salary and allowed him to recoup his forfeited earnings amid his holdout.
“The parties thought an amicable resolution would happen to allow the pass rusher to play for the Jets, earn his money back and have the opportunity to cash in again this offseason with a big 2024 in a defense coaches believe is perfect for him,” Rapoport reported. “Yet, Reddick declined to sign the deal.”
The NFL insider noted Reddick has until Week 13 to show up and join the Jets, or his contract could toll so that he would remain with New York in 2025 rather than hit free agency. Rapoport went so far as to hypothesize the two-time Pro Bowler could retire outright in the absence of a long-term agreement.
