Haason Reddick trade: Four offers for the Jets' edge rusher

The New York Jets traded for Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick on March 29, but he has yet to participate in a practice or game as a member of the team -- an unusual holdout. The stalemate intensified Aug. 12, when Reddick requested a trade and was flatly denied by the Jets. He skipped the offseason, training camp and the first regular-season game, which cost him a $791,000 game check. All told, he has accumulated more than $5 million in fines and lost money.

The Jets say Reddick, whom they acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles, told them he'd play under his existing contract after rejecting their initial offer on an extension. That's why they felt comfortable making the trade even though his demands for a new contract were widely known -- the primary reason why the Eagles shipped him off for a 2026 conditional third-round pick.

But how will this play out as we enter Week 2 of the season? Could the Jets' hand be forced? We asked four NFL analysts to craft realistic trade offers for Reddick, then had Jets reporter Rich Cimini evaluate each one and pick the best deal, based on what he thinks the Jets' front office could do over the next few weeks. Before we get into the offers -- which involve five different teams -- Cimini explains the latest on Reddick's situation.

Here's how our simulated market played out, starting with the pros and cons of each potential deal and ending with a verdict.


Kansas City Chiefs/Las Vegas Raiders
Seth Walder's offer:

Jets get: WR Davante Adams

Chiefs get: Reddick, Las Vegas' 2025 sixth-round pick

Raiders get: DE George Karlaftis, WR Allen Lazard, Kansas City's 2025 fifth-round pick, New York's 2025 second-round pick

Why this deal makes sense for all sides: Instead of cutting their losses on a problematic situation with Reddick, the Jets should use him to push even more chips into the middle with a rare three-team trade. The Jets still need a pass rusher, but they also need more receiving help. Adams would convert New York's offense from being threatening to dangerous, and the draft pick compensation is lightly mitigated by getting out of Lazard's $10 million fully guaranteed salary.

Kansas City is trying to three-peat and could upgrade from Karlaftis -- who had 10.5 sacks a year ago but has never come close to even an average pass rush win rate -- to Reddick, a bona fide disruptor, through just a pick swap and some added money. The trade would be contingent on a new contract for Reddick (Kansas City isn't making the same mistake the Jets did), but at this point, the Chiefs would be saving him from a situation he doesn't want to be in, so his leverage is minimal. As such, his salary or incentive increase would likely be manageable ... maybe he gets franchise tag protection. The Chiefs could also convert Jawaan Taylor's guaranteed salary into a signing bonus to make it work cap-wise.

This is probably the most the Raiders would get for Adams, too, who has been subject of trade speculation for nearly a year. It was reported that the Jets tried to pursue the veteran wide receiver at last season's deadline and wanted to continue that pursuit into the offseason. The Raiders would get the upside of a former first-round pick in Karlaftis, who comes in at a value cap price and under team control through potentially 2026 (if they pick up the fifth-year option). He can help replace the injured Malcolm Koonce. Plus, the Raiders would also add strong draft pick compensation.

Thoughts? :-)

Oh that’s fucking awful.

No way would I even trade George straight up for Reddick.

Dude doesn't want to play. Wouldn't trade Skyy for that pos. Certainly wouldn't make the fool an offer above vet min at this point.

Jets trade for Reddick when they already had Will McDonald on the roster about to break out.


Saleh is a dumb meat head.

The Jets gave up like a 3rd rounder for Reddick, right?

And there's some belief that after missing camp he's going to be worth more than they surrendered to get him?

Fucking idiots.

Don’t beat yourself up, it’s not your fault. It’s just a shitty idea from whoever came up with it.

No way would this ever occur. Nor should it ever occur.

God doesn't save stupid people.

Jets are going to be stuck with Reddick and forced to let him walk in free agency.

No way, no how do I want Mahomes going against a line that has Maxx Crosby, Christian Wilkins, and George Karlaftis on it for the next 3-4 years.

I say just let the Jets eat shit and see if they can squeeze juice out of Rodgers the rest of the season.
