NFL player Haason Reddick has finally put an end to his holdout. He has agreed to a new deal with the New York Jets and will join the team after their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Reddick's new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, mentioned that they will keep talking about a long-term contract extension with the team.
Woody Johnson, the Jets' owner, played a significant role in making this deal happen, according to a league source. The Jets acquired Reddick from the Eagles early in the offseason. However, Reddick initially requested a trade from the Jets after he held a press conference with the team. He was even given permission to look for a trade but ultimately decided to stay with the Jets.
Reddick's extended break from the game raises questions about how quickly he can catch up with the Jets' team dynamics and contribute effectively. The Jets are striving to turn their season around after starting with a 2-4 record.
