Haason Reddick breaks social media silence with cryptic post amid lingering Jets holdout

September 20, 2024

Haason Reddick posted on X for the first time in over two months.

But the meaning behind what he said was not exactly clear.

Reddick, whom the Jets traded for in the offseason, has continued his holdout as he seeks a new contract.

Nevertheless, for the first time since July, Reddick posted on X on Thursday, about nine hours before the Jets were scheduled to kick off with the Patriots on “Thursday Night Football.”

“God will always make a way,” he wrote with a praying hands emojis.

It’s unclear if this meant anything related to the Jets or his contract situation.

Reddick has not posted on Instagram since hosting his sixth annual football camp in Camden, N.J. in July.

After the Jets let pass-rusher Bryce Huff sign with the Eagles, the Jets then made a deal with Philadelphia to acquire Reddick, the two-time Pro Bowler who has four straight seasons with double-digit sacks.

Reddick, in continuing his holdout, is forfeiting about $800,000 per game, and, according to ESPN, he would owe $21.75 million, which includes $4.5 million in fines.

Without Huff in the fold and Reddick a non-report, the Jets have relied on others to fill the edge-rush void, though one of those key players is likely done for the year.
