Haason Reddick wants the New York Jets to trade him. The Ov Financeteam made it clear it has no intent to deal the disgruntled pass rusher amid a holdout and push for a long-term contract.

Jets general manager Joe Douglas said in a statement the franchise will not grant Reddick's trade request just four months after the team acquired the two-time Pro Bowl selection from the Philadelphia Eagles.

In exchange for Reddick, the Jets gave up a conditional third-round draft pick in 2026 that can become a second-rounder.

"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," Douglas said. "Since the trade discussions back in March we have been clear, direct and consistent with our position. Our focus will remain on the guys we have here as we prepare for the regular season."

Reddick, 29, has emerged as one of the NFL's most prolific edge rushers, compiling 27 sacks in the last two years with the Eagles. But he is facing more than $1 million in fines from the Jets after not reporting to training camp. Reddick is set to earn $14.25 million in base salary this season.

The Jets were counting on Reddick to play a significant role in pressuring opposing quarterbacks after the team lost Bryce Huff, who led New York with 10 sacks in 2023, to the Eagles in free agency. The team also traded veteran defensive end John Franklin-Myers to the Denver Broncos in late April.
