Ex-Dolphins OL coach Jim Turner to file defamation lawsuit against Ted Wells
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13409212/jim-turner-former-miami-dolphins-ol-coach-file-defamation-lawsuit-attorney-ted-wellsAt a time when attorney Ted Wells has become a focal point in one NFL saga, he now also is being called to answer for his first report for the NFL last year on the Miami Dolphins' bullying and harassment scandal.
Former Dolphins offensive line coach Jim Turner, who was fired by Miami after his actions were questioned in the first Wells Report in February 2014, is filing a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Wells and his law firm, Paul Weiss of New York, seeking damages for defamation, according to an official familiar with the case.
Turner, who thinks his reputation and career have been unfairly impacted, believes Wells' report on the Dolphins negatively and perhaps permanently affected his ability to land another NFL coaching job.
