Jets GM Confirms Reddick Holdout Status

New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas has addressed the ongoing holdout of star edge rusher Haason Reddick, stating that the team will not negotiate a new contract until Reddick reports to camp. Reddick, acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles in March, has not participated in any team activities and is holding out for a contract extension with more guaranteed money. Douglas revealed that there has been no recent communication with Reddick or his agent Tory Dandy, and the player has accumulated significant fines for missing training camp and preseason games. Despite the stalemate, Douglas expressed optimism that the situation will eventually be resolved, emphasizing respect for Reddick and his agent. The Jets, who have Super Bowl aspirations, are facing a critical need for Reddick’s pass-rushing abilities as the season opener against the 49ers on September 9 approaches.
