With season openers just days away, there is just one player still holding out and away from the team facility as of Tuesday morning. 

And that player is Haason Reddick, the New York Jets pass rusher acquired this offseason from the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. 

The Eagles sent Reddick to the Jets last spring for a conditional third-round pick. He then requested another trade during August as part of his holdout that’s kept him away from all of training camp. Fines for that holdout have exceeded $2 million, according to ESPN calculations. 

Reddick played in Philadelphia from 2022-23 with 27 total sacks, including 16 in 2022. He also tied for the league lead with 5 forced fumbles that year. 

The Jets open their season Monday in San Francisco.
