Haason Reddick ended his holdout with the New York Jets on Sunday, with the edge rusher agreeing to an "adjusted contract," ESPN reported.

"We will continue to work towards a long-term extension with the Jets," Reddick's newly hired agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN.

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

Reddick, 30, was due to make $14.25 million in the final season of his three-year, $45 million contract.

ESPN reported that the team will not assess him more than $12 million in fines that accrued during his holdout in exchange for him joining the team on Monday.

Rosenhaus told ESPN that Jets owner Woody Johnson was "very involved" in ending the stalemate.

Reddick 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 Jets (2-4) will face the Steelers (4-2) in Pittsburgh Sunday night. Wide receiver Davante Adams, who joined the Jets this week following a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, plans to play.

It is not clear when Reddick will be ready to play after missing training camp.
