runningback33 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Jets push back on trade request by holdout Haason Reddick https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40837032/jets-holdout-haason-reddick-asks-trade FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' contract standoff with Haason Reddick took an ugly turn Monday as the Pro Bowl edge rusher officially requested a trade, only to be publicly rebuffed by general manager Joe Douglas. Reddick, unhappy with his contract, has missed 21 days of training camp, incurring a mandatory fine of $50,000 per day. This is an unusual situation because he was acquired in a trade only 4½ 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," GM 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." In late March, the Jets traded a 2026 conditional third-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for the two-time Pro Bowler. They were under the impression that he'd play under his existing contract, sources said, but it became an issue when Reddick skipped the entire offseason, including mandatory minicamp. The Jets won't negotiate with a player unless he's in camp, a source said, and Reddick refuses to report unless his contract is upgraded. Reddick is due to make a non-guaranteed $14.25 million in base pay, the final year of the three-year, $45 million contract he signed with the Eagles as a free agent in 2022. He felt he had outperformed his contract and wanted to be paid like the top edge rushers. It's the main reason why the Eagles decided to shop him in the offseason despite his quality production. Over the past four seasons, Reddick has recorded 50.5 sacks, fourth in the league over that span. After losing sack leader Bryce Huff to the Eagles in free agency, the Jets swooped in to trade for Reddick -- one of a handful of big-name acquisitions in 2024. Curiously, the Jets didn't cement Reddick's contract situation at the time of the trade, although sources indicated that they did offer to extend his contract. How much they offered isn't clear, but it likely fell well short of the guarantee he's seeking. Afterward, the Jets told Reddick their preference was to revisit the contract later in the season or perhaps after the season, sources said, adding that the team was surprised when he didn't show for voluntary workouts. Neither Reddick nor his representation have commented. Reddick accumulated $1.05 million in mandatory fines for skipping 21 days in training camp, as stipulated by the collective bargaining agreement. By rule, the fines can't be rescinded. He also picked up approximately $300,000 in discretionary fines, based on a clause in the CBA. Going back to the spring, Reddick's minicamp absence cost him $100,000. Additionally, he forfeited a $250,000 workout bonus by staying away in the offseason. The Jets have big plans for Reddick, who turns 30 on Sept. 20. He's slated to start at defensive end in their front four, replacing John Franklin-Myers, who was traded to the Denver Broncos. Micheal Clemons and Will McDonald have split time in training camp.

What do they mean "They were under the impression..."? Seems to me it should have been easy to get a definite answer to a straight forward question before the trade was made. 1 hour ago, runningback33 said: Reddick is due to make a non-guaranteed $14.25 million in base pay, the final year of the three-year, $45 million contract he signed with the Eagles as a free agent in 2022.

Sabrefan1 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 This really old meme popped into my head and I thought some of you may be amused by it. *background* There are markets, or at least there used to be years ago, in some African countries that sell clothes shipped from and donated by companies and charities in the US. It's said that the NFL teams back then would ship the championship t-shirts over there from the teams that lost. Hence, the old 4 Bills SB champion t-shirts meme. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he played against the third-stringers while Williams played against the second-stringers. But that's an impressive line.
