Haason Reddick agrees to adjusted contract with Jets (Jets pay his lost salary and fines as bonus)

[chongli]

He will report Monday and will play for the rest of the season. The Jets waived $12 million in accrued fines. A long-term extension is still being worked on by Drew Rosenhaus.

I thought teams could no longer waive fines per the cba?

[frostbitmic]

If the team waives or pays the fines, shouldn't that count against the salary cap ? ... It is like extra pay.

It’s Schefter, so all of this is coming from the Rosenhaus.  We won’t know how the handled the fines until the team issues a press release.

Maybe the worst holdout ever. What a waste.

Very beneficial for us. Kind of him to pout until after our game in NJ

NFL needs to approve contracts so I am surprised this is allowed.  Hopefully the JEST will lose  draft pick for this trickery.

This put them in contention for the Lombardi? I find it hard to believe they could ever play as a cohesive unit

So many chips in the center of the table for 2 and 4

[Sojourner]

So did he wait to return until the jets got better in talent but worse in the record department?

Apparently, they are not waving the fines. They are giving him a signing bonus equal to the fines.

LOL, even the Twitter dudes can't bother to spell his name correctly.

I would love to know how this dumb situation even happened. I have never heard of a holdout where there was a trade like this. Usually the new deal is worked out with the player as basically a condition to the trade.

Lotsa me's on the Jets, not a whole lotta we

He backed himself into a corner with the holdout before realizing the team had all the leverage.  This is his new agent’s attempt to save face.

 

I hardly think Reddick is going to be anymore motivated to play for the Jets than he was the previous year in Philly.  There’s no chance he’s in NY next season.

So basically it does hit the Jets cap. Nice to take a hit of a mid level starter cause your pass rusher wants to pout.
