The Philadelphia Eagles traded two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Haason Reddick to the New York Jets in March and despite first expressing his excitement, he's no longer happy with his new team. 

Reddick did not show up to any voluntary OTA workouts and skipped out on mandatory minicamp. 

According to multiple reports, Reddick is looking for more money, and is holding out until he gets it. 

Reddick, 29, is due a non-guaranteed $14.25 million in 2024, the final year of his three-year, $45 million contract that he signed with the Eagles in 2022. That deal looks like a bargain now which means Reddick, at the very least, deserves guaranteed money after logging back-to-back Pro Bowl performances with the Eagles. 

Per ESPN, the Jets knew Reddick wanted a long-term deal before trading for him but thought they could 'make the relationship work' instead of offering him more money. 

Now, they're stuck trying to make their new starting pass rusher happy. 

Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters this week that he has been in contact with Reddick, though he wouldn't go into any details. 

"He's in a really good place mentally, working his tail off like we already knew, but he's choosing to sit out this one unexcused," Saleh said. 

By not showing up to OTAs, Reddick is missing out on a $250,000 workout bonus and another potential $104,000 fine by skipping mandatory minicamp.

Reddick is No Longer a Philly Problem 

Reddick, the former Eagles sack leader never wanted to leave Philly, but general manager Howie Roseman wasn't willing to pay a soon-to-be 30-year-old. 

According to Reddick's father, Raymond Matthew, Reddick just wanted market value and was shocked when the Eagles wouldn't even give him that. 

"I really can't wrap my head around it. I'm baffled like everyone else," his father, Raymond Matthew, told ESPN. "He outperformed his contract. … He just wanted market value. He just wanted the numbers that made sense, which he didn't get."

Instead, the Eagles chose to go after the Jets' 26-year-old pass rusher Bryce Huff. 

"It was a thing where I guess [general manager] Howie Roseman felt that it was better to go that way," Matthew said, "It felt awkward. It did."

Roseman not wanting to invest in an older pass rusher after watching Reddick's numbers take a dip in 2023, and then signing a younger guy to replace him, isn't anything too crazy, especially knowing Roseman is one of the best businessmen in the league. 

But this is an iffy topic since Reddick still deserves a better deal than the one he's on,  however, not showing up to practices with your new team doesn't seem like the right way to go about it. 

But hey, at least it's no longer a Philly problem.
