Haason Reddick could be on the move without ever having played for the Jets.
The Jets have granted Reddick permission pursue a trade, according to multiple reports, and new agent Drew Rosenhaus has been contacting teams over the last 12 hours, according to The Athletic.
This is a significant change in the Jets’ stance from August when the Jets said they would not trade him after the star pass rusher requested he be moved.
“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,” Jets general manager Joe Douglas said in a statement at the time. “Since the trade discussions back in March we have been clear, direct and consistent with our position.”
The Jets acquired Reddick from the Eagles this offseason but he has not reported to the team due to the lack of a multi-year extension with the team.
Reddick has accumulated more than $9 million in fines due to his absence.
The 30-year-old recently hired Rosenhaus, one of the NFL’s premier agents, after his previous agency, CAA, moved on from him amid his contract standoff.
Rosenhaus said Reddick would like to play for the Jets, but it seems the Jets may just try to recover some draft compensation and move on.
The Jets traded a conditional third-round pick to land Reddick.
“We are focused on a resolution with the Jets,” Rosenhaus told The Post’s Brian Costello on Monday.
