Report: Jets give Haason Reddick short trade window

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Jets have granted Haason Reddick permission to seek a trade and a short window in which to do it, The Athletic reported Tuesday.

The information comes one day after the holdout pass-rusher hired agent Drew Rosenhaus, who has been reaching out to teams to gauge interest, per the report.

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.

The slumping Jets were busy Tuesday, reportedly acquiring wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a conditional third-round draft pick.

On Monday night, New York (2-4) suffered its third straight loss with a 23-20 home setback against the Buffalo Bills.

Jets DE Jermaine Johnson confirms torn Achilles, done for year

Posted on | by Field Level Media

New York Jets defensive end Jermaine Johnson confirmed reports that he tore his right Achilles tendon in a social media post Monday.

The Jets’ third-year pass rusher, a Pro Bowl selection as an injury replacement in 2023, is expected to miss the rest of the season with the injury suffered in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans.

The post was accompanied by a video that showed Johnson using a leg scooter in the Jets’ facility. He said MRI results came back Monday, making his diagnosis official.

“Thank everyone for all the prayers and support! This is not a dark time for me, although there will be dark days ahead, this is Gods way for me to not only grow as a man, person and player but to also inspire others to as well,” Johnson wrote, vowing that he will “be back and better.”

Johnson, 25, was injured on a non-contact play while rushing Tennessee quarterback Will Levis in the third quarter of Sunday’s 24-17 road win. He immediately grabbed his right leg and was eventually carted off the field.

The Jets traded into the bottom of the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft to select Johnson No. 26 overall. In 33 career games (19 starts), he has amassed 88 tackles, 10 sacks, seven pass breakups, one interception and one forced fumble.

Johnson’s injury will likely make the absence of Haason Reddick even more apparent. The Jets traded for Reddick from the Philadelphia Eagles in the offseason, but Reddick has held out for essentially his entire stint with the Jets as he seeks a long-term contract. He has already forfeited two game checks on top of racking up more than $5 million in fines.

Jets coach Robert Saleh told reporters that starting linebacker C.J. Mosley injured his big toe during the Titans game. He didn’t reveal whether it was a turf toe injury, but didn’t rule Mosley out for the Week 3 home opener against the New England Patriots on Thursday despite the short week.

Jets coach: ‘Fair’ to say Haason Reddick won’t play in opener

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Jets held out as long as they could before pronouncing holdout edge rusher Haason Reddick out for the season opener.

Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters Saturday that it is “fair” to say Reddick won’t play Monday night against the 49ers in San Francisco as the star defender’s contract dispute continues.

Reddick is due to make $14.25 million in the final season of his three-year, $45 million contract and is looking for a long-term deal.

General manager Joe Douglas said late last month that he hasn’t spoken to Reddick since April 1, when the latter visited the Jets’ facility. Douglas noted that he also hasn’t had any recent talks with Reddick’s representation “but the phone lines are open.”

When the two sides will talk again is unclear, but Saleh said Saturday that, when the contract issues are settled, he looks forward to having Reddick in the building.

“When he gets here, we’re gonna welcome him with open arms,” Saleh said. “We’re gonna love him up and he’s gonna be a part of this football team and he’s gonna help us win a lot of football games.”

Reddick, who turns 30 on Sept. 22, 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.

Eagles finalize trade of OLB Haason Reddick to Jets

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles finalized the trade of two-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Haason Reddick to the New York Jets on Monday.

In exchange, the Eagles received a conditional third-round draft pick in 2026 that could rise to a second-round selection if the veteran pass-rusher reaches certain performance metrics.

Earlier reports said Reddick, 29, is expected to sign a long-term contract with New York.

Reddick, a Pro Bowl selection in 2022 and 2023, fills a void at edge rusher for the Jets after they lost Bryce Huff in free agency to the Eagles.

Reddick started all 34 games for the Eagles the past two regular seasons, amassing a career-high 16 sacks in 2022 and 11 more in 2023. He has recorded double-digit sacks in each of the past four seasons and has 58 sacks, 410 tackles and 16 forced fumbles in 114 games (81 starts) for the Arizona Cardinals (2017-20), Carolina Panthers (2021) and Eagles.

Reports: Eagles LB Haason Reddick to have thumb surgery

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Haason Reddick will have thumb surgery, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

The Pro Bowl linebacker, who was injured in practice on Monday, is expected to be back on the field by Week 1.

Reddick, 28, collected a team- and career-high 16 sacks in 17 starts in his first season with the Eagles in 2022.

He has registered 372 tackles, 47 sacks and 16 forced fumbles in 97 games (64 starts) with the Arizona Cardinals (2017-20), Carolina Panthers (2021) and Eagles. Arizona drafted him 13th overall in 2017.

Rookie linebacker Nolan Smith, a 2023 first-round pick from Georgia, is expected to receive the majority of the first-team reps in Reddick’s absence.

The Eagles host the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night for their second preseason game. The defending NFC champions open the regular season at New England on Sept. 10.

Panthers place OLB Haason Reddick on COVID list

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Carolina placed top pass rusher Haason Reddick and backup quarterback P.J. Walker on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

The Panthers also activated offensive linemen Pat Elflein and Dennis Daley from the list ahead of Sunday’s game at New Orleans.

Reddick has a team-high 11 sacks in 15 starts this season. The 27-year-old outside linebacker also has 65 tackles (12 for loss), 19 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

Walker, 26, has completed 36 of 66 passes for 362 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions in six games this season. He won his only start, a 34-10 road upset of the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10.

With the additions of Reddick and Walker, the Panthers (5-10) have 11 players in the protocols. That list includes defensive ends Brian Burns and Marquis Haynes, linebacker Shaq Thompson and defensive tackle Phil Hoskins.
