ARIZONA -- Former Arizona Cardinals edge rusher Haason Reddick was traded this offseason from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New York Jets.

He again may be on the move.

Per NFL insiders such as Jordan Schultz, Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, Reddick is now requesting another trade after the Jets failed to give the former first-round pick the lucrative extension he desired.

Reddick first wanted to move on from the Eagles after they declined to make him one of the highest-paid at his position moving forward.

New York acquired Reddick this past offseason for a 2026 third-round pick that would have became a second-round pick if specific terms are met.

Earlier in the offseason, ESPN Jets insider Rich Cimini revealed Reddick had "gave his word to the Jets," to be at offseason activities, and Reddick was "OK with the Jets' stance on the contract" - which was New York not shutting the door on an extension, though they preferred to wait until the season was over.

There was an apparent mutual understanding between the two sides, though that's rapidly changed since Reddick landed in the Big Apple.

Now, he looks to find his third team in seven months.

Reddick's base salary this season is $14.2 million, as the former Cardinals OLB is entering the final year of his contract.
