$12 million of this is guaranteed per Adam Schefter. Reddick famously held out for the first seven weeks of the season after the Jets wouldn’t give him a contract extension. He ended the year with just three sacks in 392 snaps for the Jets after a slow ramp-up period — it took him until Week 14 to be announced as a starter. Reddick is a decent bet to bounce back on this deal entering his age-31 season, and the Buccaneers are in desperate need of pass-rush help.

The Jets must still activate Reddick from the exempt list, but that will happen soon. With a reworked contract for the remainder of this season, the star pass rusher will now look to add to a defense that was bludgeoned for 409 yards and 37 points by the Steelers last week. Reddick has totaled 38 sacks in his last three seasons and has four straight seasons with double-digit sacks under his belt. He should have plenty of chances to get after the quarterback in this week’s game against the Patriots.

Reddick recently agreed to a reworked deal and reported to the team after a protracted absence. While Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that it was too early to say if Reddick could play this week against the Patriots, Rapoport suggested “if all goes well,” Reddick will suit up. He would join a Jets front seven with the NFL’s eighth highest QB pressure rate.

Reddick agreed to a reworked contract Monday and will practice, but it’ll be his first action after holding out for the first seven games and missing camp. The 30-year-old should be a factor going forward, but it wouldn’t be a shock if his season didn’t begin until Week 9.
