Holdouts extending into the regular season are a rarity. The New York Jets are one of the few teams to have one with edge rusher Haason Reddick.
The Philadelphia Eagles dealt Reddick to the Jets at the beginning of April for a conditional 2026 third-round pick rather than address his growing dissatisfaction with his contract.

Reddick’s holdout has been an expensive proposition. He was fined $50,000 for each of the 41 days in training camp, totaling $2.05 million. There was an additional penalty of one week’s base salary (1/18th of salary) for every preseason game missed with players signing contracts as unrestricted free agents, like Reddick did.
