New York Jets star edge-rusher Haason Reddick is usually the one forcing fumbles on his opponents, but this time, he finds himself fumbling the bag. As he continues his holdout from the team, the amount of fines being levied upon him is steadily increasing.

Haason Reddick is seeking a massive contract extension that will pay him around $25 million per year. He is reluctant to budge, and the negotiations are far from reaching an end. The edge-rusher is expected to miss Sunday’s matchup against the Tennessee Titans and will end up forfeiting $800,000.

If they traded him, then they would have given up a draft pick for nothing.
