Disgruntled Jets linebacker Haason Reddick (who is losing $800,000 per game while his contract is on hold) allegedly extorted $1.6 million from a business partner and sent thugs to blackmail him, according to a lawsuit. It is said that there is.
Redick, 30, was traded to New York from the Philadelphia Eagles in March and has not appeared with Gang Green’s team since. Redick, whose agent resigned this week, stands to lose up to $21.75 million if he stays through the season. According to a Football Insider report, that amount includes a base salary of $14.25 million, a $4.5 million fine, and $3 million in forfeited bonuses.
The Cherry Hill, N.J., man says the heralded pass rusher is also stuck on the business side. He claimed he was the one who saved Reddick’s struggling senior health care business in the City of Brotherly Love.
Reddick bought Haven Home Health Agency in 2018, but relied on his father, Raymond Matthews, and Matthews’ ex-wife, Tia Wright, to run the business. By 2021, it had “failed,” Micah Khan claimed in the lawsuit.
“Mr. Wright and Mr. Matthews had no experience operating a home health agency, and as a result, the agency operated at a loss with zero patients,” Khan said in court documents.
Mr. Reddick and his family “approached Mr. Khan knowing that he had experience in the home health care industry and asked him to take a lead role in Heaven’s marketing and business development,” Mr. Khan said in the legal filing. stated in the document.

Khan’s contract with Kingdom Medical Services allegedly stipulated that if Mr Reddick sold the company, he would give half of the proceeds to his new partner.
While Reddick “wasted little time building Haven and instead pursued a prosperous career in the NFL,” Khan said his “first goal was to make Haven a successful company and “I worked full-time for the purpose,” the lawsuit states. .
Khan’s magical touch transformed the struggling business into a “very successful company with well-trained staff and a significant revenue stream,” he said.
Three years later, “Kingdom’s efforts paid off” when Mr. Haven agreed in April to sell the company to MNH Pa. Home Care Acquisitions for $3.25 million, court documents state. .
But when Khan demanded a share of the proceeds during a post-sale meeting, he was physically threatened by Matthews “allegedly at the behest of Mr. Reddick,” the complaint says.
“Mr. Matthews brought more than a dozen men wearing black gloves to a business meeting claiming to be “Herson’s personal security,” Kahn said in court documents. “It was at this post-sale meeting that Mr. Matthews made it clear that he intended to breach his payment obligations to the Kingdom.”
Khan’s attorney, Ross Wolff, told the paper that Reddick’s “honor as a professional athlete” in Philadelphia “does not relieve him of his contractual obligations” and that “Heaven Home Health Agency… The work done for him is a way for Mr. Khan to support his family,” he added. ”
A representative for Mr. Reddick did not return messages. The Jets also did not return messages.
