Sporty.com | NFL star edge rusher Reddick reportedly requests trade from Jets, team says it won't comply

Haason Reddick was acquired by the New York Jets in a trade this past March.

Just over four months later, the star edge rusher has now requested to be traded from the Jets before ever playing a game with them.

Reddick informed the Jets on Monday he wants to be traded, according to multiple reports.

The Jets, however, have made it clear they have no plans to deal him.

Shortly after the news of Reddick's trade demand broke, the Jets announced they won't honour his request.

"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."

New York acquired Reddick from Philadelphia in late March after he had initially asked the Eagles for a new contract.

Since passing his physical with the Jets, he has not joined his new team for any activities. He skipped both their voluntary and mandatory mini-camp and has been holding out all of training camp.

Due to make $14.25million in 2024 in the final year of his deal, Reddick is facing more than $1million in mandatory fines by skipping the first three weeks of camp.

Drafted 13th overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2017 draft, Reddick has emerged as one of the league's premier pass rushers over the last four seasons.

Since 2020, his 14 forced fumbles are the most in the NFL, while his 50 1/2 sacks rank fourth.

The 29-year-old was named to his second Pro Bowl team last season when he registered 11 sacks and 13 tackles for loss.

In 2022, his 16 sacks trailed only Nick Bosa's 18 1/2 for the most in the NFL.
