The New York Jets have pulled off one blockbuster trade. Could another be barreling down the pike?
A few teams have been contacted about a potential trade for veteran pass rusher Haason Reddick, sources confirmed to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport on Tuesday.
The Athletic first reported that the Jets permitted Reddick's new agents a short window to seek a trade.
Reddick is still seeking a multi-year deal, per Rapoport.
The news of renewed trade interest for Reddick came as the Jets finalized a trade to acquire star receiver Davante Adams on Tuesday.
Reddick recently hired new reps, including Drew Rosenhaus, after being dropped by his previous agency. The pass rusher had previously requested a trade after sides couldn't agree on a long-term solution. Perhaps recommenced interest could bring about a different outcome.
Rosenhaus told NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo on Monday night before the Jets' loss to the Bills at MetLife Stadium that the first goal was to work out a solution with New York.
With Reddick continuing his holdout and the fines racking up, it makes sense for all parties to at least see what's available -- if for no other reason than to assess the landscape before reconvening.
In a league that changes week-to-week -- like the Lions losing Defensive Player of the Year candidate Aidan Hutchinson -- allowing Rosenhaus rope to see what other teams might offer in terms of a trade and/or a contract could help frame the discussions moving forward.
A trade of Reddick could help the Jets recoup some of the draft assets they sent to Vegas to get the Adams deal done.
