The New York Jets have reportedly ended their battle with elite pass rusher Haason Reddick.
Reddick is expected to be with the team Monday morning following Sunday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers ESPN.
The disgruntled outside linebacker was traded to the Jets in the offseason but hasn’t suited up for Gang Green since launching his lead during training camp.
Reddick doesn’t have the long-term deal he’s looking for, but for now he’s expected to play the rest of the season.
“We will continue to work on a long-term extension with the Jets,” Reddick’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN.

Rosenhaus was hired this week by Reddick, who recently parted ways with another agency.
It was less than a week ago that the Jets reportedly decided to allow Reddick and his new agent, Rosenhaus, to seek an appeal, according to Dianna Russini of athletics.
Reddick was traded to the Jets this offseason with the belief that the move would bring a new contract, but he has yet to get anything done.
It is said that the 30-year-old loses around $800,000 for every game he misses, as he is set to earn $14.25 million this season.
In total, he has already missed out on more than 9 million dollars, consisting of various fines for skipping practice and training camps, and his match controls.
Earlier this month, Reddick was dumped by his agency CAA, which stuck to its no-pay, no-play stance.

However, Jets owner Woody Johnson recently revealed that he hopes a change in leadership will convince him otherwise.
The Jets parted ways with head coach Robert Saleh after last week’s loss to the Vikings in London, and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has since dropped his first game as interim head coach.
‘I hope the young man can come to the team. We would like to have Haason here,” Johnson said.
‘We would welcome him with open arms. I’ll extend that. And I haven’t spoken to Jeff yet, but I think he would feel the same way.”
