The Jets’ training camp headache has become even messier. 

Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick requested a trade Monday just four months after the Jets acquired him from the Eagles, according to sources, as the 29-year-old remains entrenched in a contract dispute that has kept him out of training camp.

Reddick has not reported to camp and skipped the earlier portion — both voluntary and mandatory — of the Jets’ offseason workouts as well. 

The Jets insist they will not trade their disgruntled defender. 

“We have informed Haason that we will not trade him, that he is expected to be here with his teammates, and that he will continue to be fined per the CBA if he does not report,” Jets general manager Joe Douglas said in a statement. “Since the trade discussions back in March we have been clear, direct and consistent with our position.” 

When the Jets acquired Reddick in April for a 2026 conditional third-round draft pick, they expected him to report to training camp with his current deal — which calls for a $14.25 million base salary — and play.

They had a negotiating window and offered a short-term extension before the trade, but Reddick, who turns 30 next month, turned it down in hopes of landing the long-term deal.

The Jets felt the two sides had an agreement that Reddick would report to the spring program despite not having a new deal. 

After the trade, Reddick reported to Florham Park for his physical and even held an introductory news conference in early April, where he spoke about the “exciting” and “entertaining” season Gang Green could have in 2024.

He mentioned “being here,” trusting that his agent and Douglas would be able to work out the contract logistics that would determine whether he’d be with the Jets just one year or into the future.

He didn’t hint at a holdout. 

“I know the juice I’m going to bring,” Reddick said at the news conference. “Hopefully it rubs off on the guys. Hopefully their energy does the same for me. I looked at the roster — that was one of the first things that I did when I saw the trade — and I can pretty much guarantee it’s going to be some great ball being played.” 

That is the last the Jets saw of him. He skipped OTAs, which are voluntary, and then skipped the team’s mandatory minicamp in June, which led to his first fines, believed to be about $100,000.

Reddick then failed to report to training camp in July and has been subject to losing a mandatory $50,000 per day.

There are additional discretionary fines the Jets can impose as well. Monday was Day 21 of his holdout, meaning his fines are already more than $1 million.

The Jets have made it clear they are unwilling to negotiate any changes to his contract until he reports. 

A trade at this point seems highly unlikely.

For one, there were not many takers when the Eagles wanted to trade him in March.

That is why he went for a 2026 draft pick to the Jets. Secondly, the Jets have no reason to move him.

While this is messy and is a negative for a team that otherwise has had a positive preseason, they can call his bluff.

The Jets and Reddick could ultimately agree to revise his contract for 2024, offering more incentives or guaranteed money, but the Jets clearly don’t want to give him a long-term deal. 

The trade demand seems like a last-ditch negotiating effort by Reddick and his agent.

If Reddick sits out the 2024 season, which would be the nuclear option, his contract would toll and the Jets would still control his rights in 2025. 

The Jets traded for Reddick after allowing edge rusher Bryce Huff to sign a three-year, $51.1 million contract with the Eagles in free agency.

Reddick, who has 50 ½ sacks in the last four years, was brought in to replace Huff’s production.

At the moment, Jermaine Johnson and Micheal Clemons project as the starting defensive ends with Will McDonald as another part of the pass rush. 

The Jets are four weeks away from their season opener against the 49ers on “Monday Night Football.”

It now seems fair to wonder whether Reddick will be there.
