Jets holdout Haason Reddick stiffed biz partner of $1.6M and hired goons to intimidate him: suit

Disgruntled Jets linebacker Haason Reddick — who loses $800,000 for every game of his contract holdout — stiffed a business partner out of $1.6 million and allegedly sent goons to intimidate him, according to a lawsuit.

Reddick, 30, was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to New York in March and has failed to show up for Gang Green since. If his holdout lasts through the season, Reddick — whose agent quit this week — stands to lose up to $21.75 million. That’s $14.25 million in base salary, $4.5 million in fines and $3 million in bonus forfeiture, according to football insider reports.

The heralded pass rusher is a deadbeat in business as well, according to a Cherry Hill, NJ man who claimed he helped Reddick rescue his flailing senior health care business in the City of Brotherly Love.

Reddick bought Haven Home Health Agency in 2018, but leaned on his dad, Raymond Matthews, and Matthews’ ex-wife Tia Wright, to run the business. By 2021 it was “failing,” Micah Khan contended in a lawsuit.

“Wright and Matthews had no experience operating a home health agency and as a result the business was operating at a loss with zero patients,” Khan said in court papers.

Reddick and his family approached Khan “knowing he had experience in the home health industry and requested he take a lead role in the marketing and business development for Haven,” Khan said in legal papers.

The agreement with Khan’s Kingdom Health Services allegedly specified that if Reddick sold the company, he would give the new partner half of the sale proceeds.

While Reddick “devoted little to no time to building Haven, and instead was pursuing a prosperous career in the NFL,” Khan “made making Haven a successful company his primary goal, working full-time on Haven’s behalf,” he said in the litigation.

Khan’s magic touch transformed the floundering business into “a very successful company, with a fully trained staff and large revenue stream,” he said.

After three years, “Kingdom’s efforts paid off” when Haven agreed to sell the company in April to MNH Pa. Home Care Acquisitions for $3.25 million, the court docs stated.

But when Khan asked for his share of the proceeds during a post-sale confab, he was allegedly physically threatened by Matthews “purportedly at the behest of Mr. Reddick,” the suit says.

“Mr. Matthews brought over more than a dozen black-gloved men to a business meeting, claiming they were ‘Haason’s personal security,'” Khan said in court papers. “It was at this post-sale meeting that Mr. Matthews made it clear [they] intended to breach their payment obligations to Kingdom.”

Reddick’s “accolades as a professional athlete” in Philadelphia “do not excuse him from his contractual obligations,” Khan’s lawyer, Ross Wolfe, told The Post, adding, “the work performed for Haven Home Health Agency is how Mr. Khan supports his family.”

Reddick’s reps did not return messages. The Jets also didn’t return messages.
