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. …
In the lawsuit, Turner alleges the NFL commissioned Wells and Paul Weiss to write a report that would placate the public and assign blame to certain individuals such as Turner, while the law firm was well-paid and well-positioned for future work on NFL cases such as the one that turned out to be Deflategate.
Turner’s attorney, Peter Ginsberg, believes that Wells and Weiss failed to include significant testimony from former and current Dolphins coaches and players in the report, opting instead to blame the events on, among others, Turner.
Ginsberg also believes Turner was falsely accused of helping create an atmosphere that allowed bullying and harassment to happen and, even though Wells knew the accusations were not true, he included them in the report anyway, damaging Turner’s reputation and inflicting emotional distress, pain and suffering.
