Haason Reddick was recently let go by CAA, briefly leaving him without representation in the midst of his ongoing Jets holdout. That is no longer the case, however. 
The standout rusher has hired Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha, as noted by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Rosenhaus has already spoken with the Jets about the holdout, and he will attend tonight’s game against the Bills. This development could result in movement at the negotiating table.

“We look forward to working with the Jets to get this resolved as soon as possible, a statement from Rosenhaus reads. “Haason would like to be a New York Jet for years to come and our goal is to make that happen.”
One offer was made by the Jets around the time of their decision to trade for Reddick, whose attempts to secure an Eagles extension were unsuccessful. That offer was below market value, however, and no further talks took place during the offseason. New York remained insisted Reddick report to the team during spring workouts and later training camp, which the 30-year-old has still yet to do. A summer trade request was quickly shot down by Jets general manager Joe Douglas.
More recently, a new offer was submitted which would have allowed Reddick to recoup the lost money he has accumulated in fines by holding out. Notably, that proposal arrived after the regular season began, potentially giving the two-time Pro Bowler a means of accruing a year of service time and thus keeping him on track for free agency. That offer was rejected and followed by CAA dropping him as a client. It will be interesting to see if the switch in representation yields progress.
The Jets have remained strong on defense this year, but their pass rush suffered a major blow when Jermaine Johnson suffered an Achilles tear. The departure of Bryce Huff in free agency and the draft-day trade of John Franklin-Myers to the Broncos left plenty of playing time available for Reddick once he reported to the team (as was expected several months ag0). The former Cardinal, Panther and Eagle has amassed 50.5 sacks over the past four seasons, and New York envisioned a three-down role for him upon arrival. 2023 first-rounder Will McDonald has impressed while handling an increased workload so far, but adding Reddick to the fold would be signficant for the team’s defense.
By virtue of remaining on the reserve/did not report list, Reddick is currently only accounting for a $750K cap charge at the moment. If/when is activated, that figure will jump considerably since a resolution of some kind will have been made. With new agents in place to negotiate with the front office, progress on that front could be in store.
It’s not the agents who are the problem
Here is a fool who has lost 12 million dollars while he could have been helping a team win. He has list support of his NEW TEAMMATES who see his selfishness.
If I’m NY let him rot, let him lost 30 million dollars which he will never get back. Perfect example of how egotistical ppl will harm themselves and others to prove they were right!
He’s a joke
His teammates didn’t lose respect it’s part of the business. I guarantee you Most of them will do the same thing some part in their career. It’s a business. I actually don’t blame Riddick. He feels a one year contract if he plays will jeopardize his career if he gets hurt. This is his last chance to rake in the dough. It’s a dangerous sport.just look what the hell is happening with a lot of players this year. Especially rice, his career is over once he finishes injuries he hast to now deal with the courts so that’s two years missing out of the NFL and he was supposed to sign a new contract. Do you think he’s gonna make any money?
Because holding out is doing so much for his career?? This guy tripped over his ego and left common sense far behind.
His last chance to cash in is when the contract expires. He should have reported to camp, amassed a lot of sacks and negotiated an extension during the season.
His skills are in decline and he is injury prone. The Eagles saw that and moved him. This fool should take what he can and sign.
“I guarantee you Most of them will do the same thing some part in their career”
That’s a weird thing to proclaim so definitively when it’s wildly incorrect. How many players have held out over the last 10 years? Not even close to “most.”
“Haason would like to be a New York Jet for years to come and our goal is to make that happen.”
Sorry Drew. It’s pretty clear the Jets want him for one year only.
Could see him trying to spin this to save face for the whole thing.
I still hope he goes to Detroit. They will lose Johnson to Dallas next year.
This is easy. Show up and play your deal you bum.
