The Jets lost out on nearly half a season of production from Reddick but ended up turning lemons into lemonade.
The money New York saved from Reddick’s holdout and fines went into paying Davante Adams, whose contract the Jets absorbed when they acquired him 12 days ago in a trade with the Raiders, Rapoport added.
Adams’ base salary was $16.89 million and he also had $510,000 in per-game active roster bonuses. In the trade, the Jets took on the prorated portion, which came out to $11.6 million, and then agreed to a contract restructure of the ’24 year to lessen the cap hit. The wideout has two years remaining on his deal, unlike Reddick, who is a free agent after this season.
In his Gang Green debut in Week 7, Adams recorded just three catches on nine targets for 30 yards in 53 snaps. We’ll see Sunday whether Reddick in his first game action with the Jets — and of the season — will have a bigger impact after half of a campaign wasted.
