Just wildhow often is a player traded...only to be traded again before ever playing a down for them
fwiw, I'd deal a pick for him, conditional third rounder just like what they gave up
but he wants a long term deal and we just aren't doing that
The Jets aren’t caving:It's crazy what's going on. I don't think the Jets cave, but who knows? If they do, how does that even work in regards to the compensation with the Eagles? If he gets 10+ sacks and a certain % of snaps, the 3rd round pick becomes a 2nd rounder. Do those conditions go to the new team along with Reddick? Not sure if he's even tradeable at this point because of that - but I don't know the rules on that. Really strange situation
Basically, other teams are offering peanuts.
I could be wrong, but I believe the Jets gave the Eagles a conditional 3rd round pick. Thing is, given Roseman's history of wheeling and dealing, I'm going to guess that the conditions would favor the Eagles (although I could be wrong).If I'm the Jets, I don't trade him either. It's not costing them anything.
Any time you do a conditional trade, you have to assume the higher pick. The lower pick is in case he doesn't live up to expectations. In this case it's pretty fair. If Reddick plays %67.5 of the snaps, and gets 10 sacks, it turns into a 2nd round pick. I think that leans Jets.I could be wrong, but I believe the Jets gave the Eagles a conditional 3rd round pick.

When you trade for a guy who wants more money, end of the day you know what you're going to be stuck with.
Right. But in this case Reddick has no choice in the matter. He's screwed and the Jets know it. He's too old to be passing up on the 14M. If he wants his bag, he's going to have to prove it. He still might not get it.This is why you don’t trade for guys on expiring contracts until a new deal is worked out. Once you make the trade the player gains much more leverage.
