Chainkeen Exchange-Haason Reddick has requested a trade from the Jets after being a camp holdout, AP source says

FLORHAM PARK,Chainkeen Exchange N.J. (AP) — Haason Reddick has requested a trade from the New York Jets after holding out from training camp while seeking a new contract, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The star edge rusher was acquired by New York from Philadelphia in the offseason after asking to pursue a trade from the Eagles over his contract situation. Reddick is now seeking a second trade in a six-month span — without having practiced with the Jets.

NFL Network first reported Reddick’s latest request. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team didn’t announce Reddick’s desire to be traded.

The 29-year-old Reddick was placed on the reserve/did not report list on July 25, the Jets’ second day of camp practice — with the hope the contract dispute would soon be resolved. Instead, it reached 21 days and now Reddick wants out.

Reddick has been absent all offseason since being acquired by the Jets. He’s scheduled to make $14.25 million in base salary in the final year of his deal. By missing the first three weeks of camp, Reddick is facing more than $1 million in mandatory fines. He also forfeited a $250,000 workout bonus for not attending the Jets’ offseason workouts. None of Reddick’s salary for this season is guaranteed.
