Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is dropping his effort to shield a paternity lawsuit from the public eye and is going on offense.
In new court filings, Jones' legal team withdrew its request for a hearing to discuss sealing the suit brought by Alexandra Davis -- who claims Jones is her biological father -- and adds allegations that Jones was a victim of "attempted extortion."
In a court document filed Monday afternoon, Jones' attorneys alleged Davis offered to "make a deal" with Jones before filing the suit. The defense attorneys also allege Jones and the Cowboys were "targets of multiple monetary extortion attempts."
