Report: Reddick A Virtual Lock To Report To Training Camp
Hold in, hold out or regular report? A new article by Jets X Factor indicates Jets edge rusher Haason Reddick will report with the other veterans tomorrow but with one caveat: he might not practice with his teammates.
The idea of a “hold in” is novel and a popular new approach where players attend camp but don’t practice to protest current contract disputes, according to Jets X Factor.
Reddick remains the Jets best threat off the edge, and is expected to compliment rising star defensive end Jermaine Johnson going forward.
Reddick played in 17 games in 2023, and had 11 sacks. He’s still young at 29 but is looking for a long-term deal that would give him more security.
The Jets aren’t the only AFC East team dealing with big name hold out question marks.
Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, like Reddick and Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love will report to training camp but likely will not practice unless he gets a new contract as he enters the final year of his rookie deal.
Dolphins star wideout Tyreek Hill is also looking for a better deal but is likely to show up for training camp and be a full participant, according to reports.
Training camp hold out news out of the Buffalo Bills has been quiet, as is expected as the team is good at clamping down on leaks and keeping things in-house.
A good example is Bills cornerback Rasul Douglas who missed OTAs but later said it was for personal reasons and not contract related or his desire to remain with the team.
Of course things could change day to day for the Jets, but it will be interesting to see what develops once the team hits the field for training camp July 24.
Let the drama begin …
