Jets say they won't trade malcontent LB Haason Reddick

The New York Jets declared they will not trade edge rusher Haason Reddick following reports that Reddick formally requested a trade on Monday.

Reddick wants out of New York after failing to land a new deal with the team that acquired him from the Philadelphia Eagles just four months ago.

"We have informed Haason that we will not trade him, that he is expected to be here with his teammates and that he will continue to be fined per the CBA if he does not report," Jets general manager Joe Douglas said in a statement. "Since the trade discussions back in March we have been clear, direct and consistent with our position. Our focus will remain on the guys we have here as we prepare for the regular season."

The Eagles traded Reddick to the Jets in April for a conditional 2026 third-round pick. He showed up for his physical and initial press conference with the Jets but did not report to mandatory minicamp and has not appeared at training camp.

Reddick, who turns 30 in September, is in the final year of his contract and looking for a long-term deal. He had also attempted to get a raise from the Eagles before the trade.

Reddick has recorded 50.5 sacks the past four seasons and is due to earn $14.25 million this season.

By comparison, new Giants edge rusher Brian Burns -- traded to New York from the Carolina Panthers in the offseason -- has 38.5 sacks the past four seasons and signed a five-year, $141 million contract ($28.2 million per season). Burns is four years younger.

New York considers Reddick a starter at one defensive end position after dealing away John Franklin-Myers, who was traded to the Broncos in April, and losing Bryce Huff to the Eagles in free agency.

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), Panthers (2021) and Eagles.
