As the New York Jets' season continues Sunday in Tennessee, the fine meter on Haason Reddick continues running.

Reddick and the Jets have been unable to bridge their differences, and a deal doesn't appear anywhere close at this time, sources told ESPN.

Missing Sunday's game against the Titans means Reddick will forfeit the chance to earn roughly another $800,000, bringing his losses this season in fines, unearned salary and bonus forfeiture to about $8 million.

If Reddick holds out all year, it will cost him approximately $21.75 million, broken down as follows:

• $14.25 million lost in Paragraph 5 base salary

• $4.5 million in fines

• $3 million in discretionary bonus forfeiture, which is the max amount that Reddick can lose in this holdout

Reddick has been holding out for a new contract, a stalemate that took a turn Aug. 12 when the two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher requested a trade.

The Jets traded for Reddick on March 29, sending a conditional 2026 third-round pick to the Eagles. Reddick attended an introductory news conference with the Jets on April 1 and hasn't returned to the facility since.

Aside from forfeiting salary for every game he misses, Reddick also will miss out on having his entire salary guaranteed. As a vested veteran, his salary would have been guaranteed by being on the Jets' Week 1 roster.

In acknowledging that Reddick would not play in Monday's season opener against the 49ers, coach Robert Saleh said the Jets would "welcome him with open arms" if and when he returns to the team.

"We're going to love him up, and he's going to be a part of this football team and he's going to help us win a lot of football games," Saleh said Sept. 7. "He's got to sort through the financial stuff, which is none of my business."
