Jets are giving holdout Haason Reddick permission to seek a trade

Haason Reddick has been given permission to seek a trade, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson said at the NFL's fall meetings in Atlanta on Tuesday.

Reddick has not played this season while in a contract dispute with the Jets, who acquired him from Philadelphia in late March to boost their pass rusher. Instead, the star edge rusher has not been with the Jets since his trade was finalized and he passed his physical on April 1.

Drew Rosenhaus, who along with Ryan Matha now represents Reddick after the player recently switched agents, said Monday he was looking forward to getting the issues resolved as soon as possible. Rosenhaus attended New York's 23-20 loss to Buffalo on Monday night, presumably in part to meet with Jets officials.

“He would like to be a New York Jet for years to come,” Rosenhaus said hours before the game, "and our goal is to make that happen.”
