The New York Jets and edge rusher Haason Reddick are making progress on resolving his holdout over a contract dispute. Reddick, who has forfeited around $500,000 in fines and roster bonuses by missing training camp, is seeking a new or reworked deal as he enters the final year of his $14.25 million contract. Despite the holdout, the Jets have placed Reddick on the reserve/did not report list and have not ruled out a potential trade if negotiations fail. Meanwhile, the Jets signed quarterback Ben Bryant to fill the roster spot vacated by Reddick. The ongoing situation provides an opportunity for other players like Will McDonald and Jermaine Johnson to step up in the defense. The team's defensive line, which has seen significant turnover, will rely heavily on these emerging talents to maintain its performance.
