Jets Owner Pleads Reddick to End Holdout

New York Jets star pass rusher Haason Reddick is in a prolonged contract holdout, leading to his agency, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), parting ways with him. Reddick, traded from the Philadelphia Eagles in March, has not reported for any team activities and has accumulated over $8 million in fines, forfeiting a significant portion of his $14.25 million salary. Despite the Jets' defensive success without him, owner Woody Johnson has publicly pleaded for Reddick to end his holdout and rejoin the team, emphasizing a welcoming environment. Reddick's demand for a contract exceeding $20 million annually remains unmet, and the Jets have firmly denied his trade requests. The situation coincides with the firing of head coach Robert Saleh, as Johnson seeks to salvage the Jets' 2-3 season start. Both sides remain at an impasse, with Reddick's future with the team uncertain.
