Mon Sep 09 14:34:36 UTC 2024: ## Reddick’s Holdout Costs Him Nearly $800,000 Per Game

**New York, NY** – As the New York Jets prepare for their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, veteran edge-rusher Haason Reddick’s holdout continues to escalate in cost. According to reports, Reddick will forfeit a game check of $791,666 for missing the game, with an additional $791,666 lost for every subsequent game missed. This is on top of the over $5 million in fines Reddick has already incurred from the NFL.

Reddick, who was acquired in a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles in March, requested a trade from the Jets last month. However, general manager Joe Douglas has stated he has no plans to fulfill that request. Despite the ongoing holdout, Jets head coach Robert Saleh has publicly expressed support for Reddick, stating he will be welcomed back to the team with open arms.

Reddick’s motivations for the holdout remain unclear, but it is widely believed he is seeking a raise from the $14.25 million he is set to make in the final year of his current contract. However, if Reddick holds out for the entire season, the Jets will retain his rights for the 2025 season.

It remains to be seen whether the Jets’ performance on Monday night will influence Reddick’s decision to end his holdout and rejoin the team. The financial consequences of his actions are mounting, with the potential for a significant loss of income if he remains away from the team for an extended period.
