FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- When mandatory minicamp opened last June, the New York Jets made news for the wrong reasons. Two of their most prominent players were no-shows. One was on the other side of the world, investigating the riddle of the Sphinx. The other was on the other side of New Jersey, spinning his own riddle with a perplexing holdout.
The latter was newly-acquired edge rusher Haason Reddick, who would continue his holdout until October. The former was quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who decided to skip minicamp in favor of a vacation to Egypt.
