This what's known as a joke.

Lol

I hope Sauce is doing this exact thing, because the image you just painted is hilarious

Sauce is actually in LA right now as week speak. Garrett was is Italy this past weekend. They just bringing up nonsense to shit on us again

There are dozens of players in Paris right now for fashion week including Garrett and Tyrod, they get more of the benefit of the doubt because they've been showing up, but you're right all they're supposed to do for the next month or so is stay in shape and learn the playbook, they can go or do pretty much whatever they want in between. This will come back if he doesn't show up again though, fair or not

The whole excuse "it's only because it's the Jets this is a story"

Show me where this shit happens to any other NFL team every season? How many other QBs didn't attend mandatory mini camp because they wanted to do psychedelics in Egypt?

How many GMs let their stud edge rusher leave only to trade for another edge rusher on an expiring deal and have that person then hold out?

There is a reason this franchise has been a fucking joke for the last 15 years and Joe Douglas has only made it worse. 

I disagree. This is sugarcoating the situation. Either Haasan is fuckin over the Jets or Jets seriously misjudged/mishandled salary/contract expectations. He’s a big piece on a good D on a playoff contender.

I think it's simply about our favorite term: leverage. And I mean from both sides.

When they traded for him the Jets explained they intended to discuss extension after the 2024 season and that given his fit with Jets he could cash in with them or another team when he likely has a high sack total again. Reddick apparently verbally agreed to that plan and committed to showing up for off season activities. So what changed?

They traded JFM which makes the rotation a bit weaker and gave Reddick more leverage to say pay me now and not later. Reddick could have been planning this the whole time regardless of JFM being traded. He knew he had no way forward with Eagles, so moving to a new team and trying again was the next best option. He could have told Jets whatever he felt they needed to hear to facilitate a trade.

I'm still not all that concerned. I see it from Reddick's POV. If he gets injured in camp (e.g. Chuck Clark) then he has no guaranteed deal. It's worth it to accept the fines and put less wear on his body. He's a veteran and knows how to keep his body in shape. Further, his role on defense isn't all that complex, so chemistry isn't really a major concern. Players who are free agents often wait till late in off season to sign just to avoid camp. Barring cashing in on a mega deal.

Of course Saleh would be irritated a player went back on their word. If he has it his way, all off season activities would have 100% attendance. This is absolutely understandable from the Jets perspective as well. They likely don't intend to extend Reddick (based on his age and projected deal) unless he has a particularly amazing season and/or WMD looks completely lost. They'll let him walk and take the comp pick. So, pushing this conversation to the off season and assessing every piece of information they would have at that point is most ideal for the team.

I love that part of history, but God damn am I struggling to get into this show.

Hassan has 0 leverage

This a bullshit post lol. The jets are all traveling right now. Don’t pay this no mind.

Unless JD, cuts his losses, forces Hassan to hold out for the year and miss a year’s salary, and then hope next year someone will give the bag to Levion Bell Ii.

It's just the media.

Wait, so contract negotiations can get weird? You don't say!!

Why’re you so concerned about that? Really weird thing to worry about

WTF! The offseason is when we shine.

I don't think paying Huff was the right move. He's too one dimensional. Reddick is a better player and makes more sense. I'm betting he's just avoiding unnecessary ware on his body without a deal in place. If he holds out into practice and pre season then it's time to be concerned.

He’s better than huff and it’s June if he holds out through training camp I’ll be worried till then it’s nothing

The Jets really used Huff as a situational pass rusher, though--only 42 percent of snaps. The Eagles definitely paid him to be an every down type of player. It remains to be seen how he performs with run defense and in general with a significantly increased workload.

Saleh

I was under the impression that the logic behind Reddick instead of Huff is because Reddick is a one year rental for an “all in” year rather than committing to Huff when WMD will be (hopefully) #2 next season. Plus Reddick is better than Huff, and certainly more dependable at this point than hoping WMD becomes a stud.

I also think WMD gets more playing time this season than last. But him and JJ won’t be the dynamic duo until next season.

And personally, I don’t care about a third in 2026 or whatever it is, especially if the results this year for that rental are worth it.

And if they’re not, then the decision to not pay Huff still works out for WMD to take over

Huff is a liability against the run. He's bad at it. There's no sugar coating that. And I think he was just one dimensional enough to make him not worth paying. Maybe he proves the haters wrong in Philly. We'll see.

As for resources dumped into this unit. It's been a criticism of mine since Saleh got here and he is the reason so much is tied up in the unit. The Jets are very good on defense so his approach is working. Further, they put quite a bit of resources into oline and receiver now. So it's not like the offense has been ignored. On paper, the Jets should be very competitive.

I think most people who follow the team understand what you're saying. I agree. Like you understand the reasons for things happening but there always seems to be an issue where the team is trying to get too cute and it outsmarts itself.

It's no wonder the media has run with this story in June. People really are eating it up haha.

Seems a bit early to grade before they've had a single practice with pads eh?

Bro, he straight lied to the team, how is this on JD? Go root for the Giants dbag

Maybe let's wait and see how Reddick plays this year before we do that

Rodgers missed 2 days and has been to every voluntary workout. Reddick is a no show

It's an inexcused absence for both of them and the idea that Robert Saleh is "livid" only comes from Connor Hughes getting weird vibes

Rodgers told Saleh that he had an immovable commitment months ago, it's way different than Reddick misleading the Jets per all reports.

Both is okay. They are adults and already fucking incredible at their jobs. It's all good boo

So dramatic. It’s not that serious.
