I imply, the man skipped all the offseason as a result of he wished extra money. Now he reveals up, you realize, seven [to] eight weeks in simply so he can get his season credited and turn into a free agent. The Jets don’t want one other man like that.”
Cimini went so far as saying that Reddick isn’t going to play for the staff however will solely play for himself by abandoning the run and solely enjoying for sacks.
“He isn’t going to play the run. He’s simply going to go all out to get sacks so he can pad his stats and money in free company. This actually bothers me, as you’ll be able to inform, I simply assume it’s a unhealthy state of affairs they usually’re simply enabling him. They speak about accountability? I imply, come on. I simply assume it sends a nasty message. It actually does.”
