    Haason Reddick requests trade from Jets after holding out at camp, per AP Source

    FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Haason Reddick has requested a trade from the New York Jets after holding out from training camp while seeking a new contract, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

    The star edge rusher was acquired by New York from Philadelphia in the off-season after asking to pursue a trade from the Eagles over his contract situation. Reddick is now seeking a second trade in a six-month span — without having practised with the Jets.

    NFL Network first reported Reddick’s latest request. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team didn’t announce Reddick’s desire to be traded.

    The 29-year-old Reddick was placed on the reserve/did not report list on July 25, the Jets’ second day of camp practice — with the hope the contract dispute would soon be resolved. Instead, it reached 21 days and now Reddick wants out.

    Reddick has been absent all off-season since being acquired by the Jets. He’s scheduled to make $14.25 million in base salary in the final year of his deal. By missing the first three weeks of camp, Reddick is facing more than $1 million in mandatory fines. He also forfeited a $250,000 workout bonus for not attending the Jets’ off-season workouts. None of Reddick’s salary for this season is guaranteed.

    Haason Reddick, a linebacker for the New York Jets, has reportedly requested a trade from the team after holding out at training camp. According to an Associated Press source, Reddick is seeking a fresh start elsewhere.

    Reddick, who was acquired by the Jets in a trade with the Carolina Panthers earlier this year, has been a key player on defense for the team. However, it appears that he is unhappy with his current situation and is looking to move on.

    The decision to request a trade comes after Reddick decided to hold out at training camp in hopes of securing a new contract. The 27-year-old linebacker is entering the final year of his current deal and is looking for a long-term extension that reflects his value to the team.

    It remains to be seen whether the Jets will grant Reddick’s trade request or if they will try to work out a new contract with him. In the meantime, Reddick’s absence from training camp has left a void in the team’s defense, as he is known for his speed and playmaking ability.

    Regardless of the outcome, Reddick’s request for a trade highlights the challenges that players face in negotiating contracts and securing their future in the NFL. As the situation continues to unfold, fans will be watching closely to see how the Jets and Reddick handle this delicate situation.
