I've read in places that they can potentially toll his contract if he isn't available for at least 8 games and I've seen references that the team can basically have him work out for 3 weeks to get back in shape if they don't think he's up to snuff.
So theoretically he could only have a week or maybe two left before the Jets could really hardball him.
Granted, from what I read, the CBA wasn't explicitly clear, so likely it would come down to arbitration.

With that timeline, I wonder if that had any role in the agent getting rid of him.

Would Lions potentially calling up Jets to offer pick and take headache off Jets hands with Hutchinson injury make any sense?

It probably wouldn't hurt to kick the tires on him, but would he actually agree to terms with the Lions?
And if he was traded would the fines be forgiven or forgotten?

Everybody who knows anything about Drue Rosenhaus knew this was coming. Everyone.

Lions have made a big deal about culture since Holmes and Campbell came on board.
Of all the possibilities, this is the last one I see happening.

Reddick is not playing due to contract not just the team. He was due $14.25 mill. Are the lions going to get him plus redo the deal to get him to a number he’s comfortable with for 2024 (prorated) at like $18 or $20 mill for example?
The big fish out there is Maxx Crosby. And it kills me to even suggest that as a raiders fan but checking upon his contract he is finished the guaranteed money after this season. On the books he’s got $10.2 in dead money from his SB and Restructure and due $22 mill in real money for 2025. At this point guys of his talent typically demand a new contract. So looking at Bosa/Watt type money.

The Adams trade pretty much nullifies any chance of Reddick getting a new deal with the Jets.
I do wonder what happens if he just suddenly says "actually I want to play right now" and shows up. How do the cap implications work?

Jets would take a cap charge on the prorated balance of his contract. $14.25 mil is his base, so divided over 18 weeks is like $800K per week, plus any bonuses he were to get. Not sure how the cap is impacted, if at all, by the fines he has amassed.
If he showed up tomorrow, I don't think the Jets would be cap compliant, so they'd have to work out a restructure or two with either Reddick or other players to push cap charges into the future.

Easy first challenge for him going against the wet toilet paper that is the Patriots offensive line.

I have no idea why the Jets traded for him. Only to let his holdout continue until a couple weeks ago.
