NFL News: Eagles Star Being Sued By Man Who Says Player Seduced His Wife, Ruined His Marriage

​Fletcher Cox has been able to overcome numerous obstacles on the field, but this may be too much. NFL players are used to battling things out on the football field, but sometimes, they have to face off in even tougher competitions off the field. The Philadelphia Eagles are having an amazing season, as they sit on top of the NFC, but one of their biggest defensive stars has something else to deal with now. A man in North Carolina has brought a lawsuit against defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, saying that the NFL star seduced his wife and ruined their marriage.

According to the Charlotte Observer, Joshua Jeffords has brought a lawsuit against Fletcher Cox in Mecklenburg County Civil Court. Cox is being sued for "alienation of affection," as Jeffords believes Cox is the reason that his marriage was ruined.

The suit was filed on November 22, and Jeffords stated that he and his wife had a happy marriage, which was going well until September of this year. It was then that he found a number of text messages and Snapchat messages between his wife and the Eagles' star defensive lineman.

The messages between the two were said to be "salacious" and went much further than anyone may have realized. In the suit, Jeffords claims that there were at least two of the messages which had Cox saying he wanted to get his wife pregnant.

Fletcher Cox and the Philadelphia Eagles are currently having a great season as they sit on top of the NFC and have the NFL's best record at 10-1. This lawsuit could end up bringing about a great deal of off-the-field distraction that may have an effect on Cox and his teammates as they head toward the playoffs. Not only is he being sued, but he has his personal business and affair are out there for the entire world to see.​
