Haason Reddick, the edge rusher acquired from the Eagles through a trade earlier this year, has been absent from the Jets’ offseason workouts. However, head coach Robert Saleh expects Reddick to join the team next week. While Saleh is unaware of the reason for Reddick’s absence, he redirected questions about the situation to General Manager Joe Douglas.
Before the trade, Reddick expressed his desire for a new contract as he is currently in the final year of his existing deal. Saleh emphasized that while he would like all players to attend every practice, the workouts have been voluntary thus far. He has confidence that Reddick is putting in the necessary work independently to prepare for the upcoming season.
Saleh commended Reddick’s professionalism, citing his experience and past production in the league. He assured that despite Reddick’s absence, they are aware of his commitment to improving and getting ready for the 2024 season. The Jets expect Reddick to participate in next week’s mandatory minicamp and anticipate his presence at training camp later in the summer. While his absence may have raised concerns, Saleh remains optimistic about Reddick’s dedication and readiness to contribute to the team moving forward.
