Jets holdout Haason Reddick hires Drew Rosenhaus

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Disgruntled edge rusher Haason Reddick hired Drew Rosenhaus to negotiate an end to his holdout with the New York Jets, the agent confirmed Monday.

CAA parted ways with Reddick as a client last week amid his ongoing contract dispute with the Jets.

“We look forward to working with the Jets to get this resolved as soon as possible,” Rosenhaus told ESPN. “Haason would like to be a New York Jet for years to come and our goal is to make that happen.”

In five games entering “Monday Night Football” against the Bills, the Jets had 18 sacks this season. Will McDonald has a team-high 6.0 sacks.

The Jets acquired Reddick from the Philadelphia Eagles for a conditional 2026 draft pick on April 1, but the two-time Pro Bowl selection has been a no show while seeking a long-term deal.

Reddick was due to make $14.25 million in the final season of his three-year, $45 million contract.

Reddick, 30, has recorded 50.5 sacks over the past four seasons.

A first-round pick (13th overall) by Arizona in 2017, Reddick is a two-time Pro Bowl selection with 410 tackles, 99 quarterback hits, 58 sacks and 16 forced fumbles in 114 games (81 starts) with the Cardinals (2017-20), Carolina Panthers (2021) and Eagles.

Agent: RB Miller, Patriots agree to one-year contract

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Running back Lamar Miller and the New England Patriots have agreed to terms on a one-year contract, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Per Rosenhaus, the agreement hinges on Miller passing a physical.

Miller missed all of the 2019 season after sustaining a torn ACL in the Houston Texans’ third preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The 29-year-old rushed for 2,934 yards and 13 touchdowns in three active seasons with the Texans. He also reeled in 92 receptions for 678 yards and five scores.

Miller has rushed for 5,864 yards and 32 touchdowns and added 209 receptions for 1,565 yards with eight scores in seven active seasons with the Miami Dolphins and Texans. He was selected by the Dolphins in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

He joins a Patriots’ depth chart that includes Sony Michel (physically unable to perform list), James White, Rex Burkhead, Damien Harris and undrafted free-agent J.J. Taylor.

Njoku rescinds trade request, stays with Browns

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Tight end David Njoku wants to remain with the Cleveland Browns after all.

Nearly one month after his agent Drew Rosenhaus asked for his client to be traded, Njoku took to social media to declare that he wants to stay with the Browns.

“I’m all in Cleveland. Time to work,” Njoku posted Saturday on Twitter.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that Rosenhaus said that his client has had “some good meetings with the new Browns’ organization including GM Andrew Berry and he has decided to give the team his full commitment right now and go from there.”

Rosenhaus’ recent comment is much different than the one from July 3, when he declared that his client wanted out of Cleveland.

“It is in David’s best interest to find a new team at this time,” Rosenhaus told Schefter at the time.

Njoku, 24, is entering his fourth season since the Browns selected him with the 29th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. He had 88 catches for 1,025 yards and eight touchdowns in 32 games (19 starts) through his first two seasons.

He managed just five catches for 41 yards and a touchdown in four games (one start) in a disappointing 2019 campaign, in which he missed time with a broken wrist and was a healthy scratch late in the season.

Njoku said after the season he wasn’t sure if he would be back, but the team picked up his fifth-year option for 2021. The option, worth $6 million, is guaranteed only for injury until next spring. Njoku has a base salary of $1.8 million for 2020.

The Browns also made significant investments elsewhere at tight end this offseason, catering to new head coach Kevin Stefanski’s preference to use multiple tight ends. They signed Austin Hooper to a four-year, $44 million contract and took Harrison Bryant out of Florida Atlantic in the fourth round in April.
