After CAA fired defensive end Haason Reddick, Reddick enlisted the help of powerhouse NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus. As soon as Rosenhaus sat down with the Jets, a countdown began – a ticking clock as they had a limited window of time, a short window that spanned, by all accounts, a mere 48 hours, to pull off a major trade.
According to a source in the know, a trade was never on the brink of materializing. The whisper in the wind suggested that Jets owner Woody Johnson wasn’t about to greenlight any trade unless it involved a hefty draft pick coming their way in exchange for Reddick. To add another layer of complexity to the situation, if Reddick had been dealt to an NFC team, the third-round pick the Jets owed the Eagles in 2026 would have magically transformed into a more enticing second-round pick.
Was it all part of a grand plan, a strategic move in the game of NFL chess? Or was it just a case of ‘ready, fire, aim’? Whatever the answer may be, the opportunity to orchestrate a trade ultimately paved the way for a restructured deal that lured Reddick back into the fold, ending his absence of seven games during the 2024 season.
Now the burning question is: will Reddick remain a Jet come 2024? With Woody laser-focused on maximizing the potential of the post-Saleh Jets, his sights are set firmly on the present. The future, with all its uncertainties, can wait its turn. Especially when factoring in the possibility of Woody making a return to the UK as the American ambassador once again.
In the high-stakes world of NFL negotiations, where every move is scrutinized under a microscope, the saga of Haason Reddick and the Jets is just another chapter in the ever-evolving narrative of professional football. Stay tuned for the next twist in this gridiron tale.
