The New York Jets traded for Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick on March 29, but he has yet to participate in a practice or game as a member of the team -- an unusual holdout. The stalemate intensified Aug. 12, when Reddick requested a trade and was flatly denied by the Jets. He skipped the offseason, training camp and the first regular-season game, which cost him a $791,000 game check. All told, he has accumulated more than $5 million in fines and lost money.
The Jets say Reddick, whom they acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles, told them he'd play under his existing contract after rejecting their initial offer on an extension.
