FLORHAM PARK – The Jets reported for training camp on Tuesday.
Haason Reddick, whom the team traded for this offseason, is still not in attendance. The team does not have any indication when he plans on showing up – the first helping of drama in a season with Super Bowl aspirations.
The Jets-Reddick impasse centers around the pass rusher’s contract. Reddick has one year and $14.25 million unguaranteed left on the three-year deal he signed with the Eagles in 2022. The Jets inherited that contract when they traded a conditional third-round pick for him this offseason. Before completing that trade, the Jets offered Reddick a contract extension, sources told SNY. The figures, while a raise, were not what Reddick was looking for, so he declined the offer.
The Jets were open to a contract extension making Reddick one of the league’s highest-paid edge rushers (a deal between $25 million and $28 million annually), but there was an understanding between the Jets and Reddick that in order to receive that, Reddick needed to show up and perform on the field (regular season games), SNY learned. The Jets were not willing to rip up Reddick’s current deal until that point. They were, however, willing to do an extension in-season, similar to when they rewarded defensive end John Franklin-Myers in October of 2021.
In the meantime, they could adjust Reddick’s current contract: Converting unguaranteed money to guaranteed, adding in incentives.
Reddick, who has double-digit sacks each of the last four seasons, was on board. He told Jets brass he would attend the offseason program, minicamp and training camp. Early-season dominance would lead to the desired extension.

Then Reddick didn’t show up for the voluntary portion of the Jets offseason. He skipped mandatory minicamp. He is now a no-show…
