Haason Reddick holdout looms large in Jets’ loss to 49ers
On Monday night, the Jets' pass rush had a Haason Reddick-sized hole. San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy faced little resistance in Monday night's 32-19 blowout loss to the Jets, recording just one sack and leaving Redick on a months-long strike. Jets head coach Robert Saleh avoided questions Tuesday morning about his feelings about the holdout […]
Jets won’t have Haason Reddick for opener as contract holdout continues
Haason Reddick's strike appears set to last into the regular season.

Haason Reddick holdout and three other key Jets’ issues as Week 1 nears
With just a few days until the Jets season kicks off, we'll finally be able to analyze some actual football, but until then, we'll be discussing some of the off-field buzz surrounding the team.

Why Haason Reddick isn’t likely to get what he wants from holdout
Is Haason Reddick really ready to do this? Judging by NFL precedent, he probably won't be — at least, not for long.

Jets better end bungled Haason Reddick contract drama
The 49ers completed their final offseason practice on Tuesday ahead of their season opener against the Jets. Now it's the Jets' turn.

Joe Douglas better be right about Haason Reddick debacle
Joe Douglas hesitantly weathered the inevitable questioning from Haason Reddick. That's his story and he's sticking to it. No regrets about making the trade, no regrets about not getting the signing.

Jets’ Joe Douglas speaks out on Haason Reddick contract saga
Jets general manager Joe Douglas addressed Haason Reddick's strike for the first time on Thursday and didn't offer any optimistic outlook.

Jets believe it’s still possible Haason Reddick could play Week 1
At least in theory, Haason Reddick could be available for Week 1 against the Jets. The outside linebacker missed all of training camp due to a holdout that culminated a few weeks ago with a trade request. Redick appears to still be in a stalled negotiation with the Jets, but coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday […]
Jets’ defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich’s message as Haason Reddick holdout continues
While Jeff Ulbrich insists he won’t speak to his players about former Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick’s continued absence, the Jets defensive coordinator has conveyed the message to defensive linemen competing for playing time in his absence. “For every defensive end on this team, one less opportunity for a guy who could have been […]
