Haason Reddick made strides toward a potential resolution with the New York Jets on Monday, hiring longtime NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus after his previous representation dropped him. Rosenhaus confirmed as much, telling NFL Network his “main goal” is to resolve Reddick’s contract dispute and keep the pass rusher in New York. The Jets, however, are prepared for a different ending, granting Rosenhaus permission to seek a trade on behalf of the disgruntled player, according to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones.

In turn, Rosenhaus is proactively soliciting interest from other NFL teams, per The Athletic, with exactly three weeks until the league’s in-season trade deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

This represents a change of heart from Jets brass, with general manager Joe Douglas previously saying that New York would not honor Reddick’s original preseason trade request. The Jets also have refused to meet Reddick’s contract demands up to this point, arguing they “have been clear, direct and consistent in our position” regarding a new deal for the former Philadelphia Eagles star since before acquiring the Pro Bowler via trade in April. Reddick, of course, has yet to play this year while seeking a significant pay raise.
