Ted Wells involved in another lawsuit regarding his reports. This time involving the Dolphins harassment report from 2014.

Former Dolphins O-line coach is suing Ted Wells for defamation and Wells goal with the report was to ensure future deals with the NFL. Believes the NFL colluded with Wells to find an easy scapegoat for blame while ignoring the deeper problems within the Dolphins organization.

Turner, who thinks his reputation and career have been unfairly affected, believes that Wells' report on the Dolphins negatively and perhaps permanently altered his ability to land another NFL coaching job ...

In the lawsuit, Turner alleges that 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 that 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.

Incognito told Newsday that Wells left out information that could have helped his case in the published report. Asked for specifics on what was left out of Wells' report in his case, Incognito said: "Teammate testimony, stuff like that."
