New York Jets’ Haason Reddick Faces Holdout and $1.6 Million Lawsuit After Philadelphia Eagles Trade

 

New York Jets pass rusher Haason Reddick is in the midst of a complicated situation following his offseason trade from the Philadelphia Eagles. The star defensive player, who was expected to make an immediate impact with the Jets, is currently holding out from team activities, a move that has already cost him millions in potential earnings.

Reddick’s absence from the team comes amid a broader financial and legal struggle. He is now facing a $1.6 million lawsuit filed by Micah Khan, who claims that Reddick failed to pay him after the sale of a business. According to the lawsuit, Khan was promised half of the proceeds from the sale of Haven Home Health Agency, a senior care business indirectly owned by Reddick, but he alleges that the payment was never made.

While Reddick did not personally run Haven Home Health Agency, it was managed by his father and an administrator on his behalf. Khan was hired in 2021 to help revive the struggling business, handling marketing and business development, under the agreement that he would receive a significant portion of the sale if it occurred.

As Reddick remains absent from team practices and games, the combination of lost earnings and the ongoing legal battle is creating a complex situation for the talented pass rusher. His absence from the Jets leaves the team without one of their top defensive assets and raises questions about when, or if, Reddick will return to the field.

The holdout and lawsuit present challenges not only for Reddick but also for the Jets, who are working to navigate the situation while managing expectations for the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Reddick’s legal and football future unfolds.
