"A lawyer for the massage therapists who sued Brett Favre and the Jets on Monday said N.F.L. investigators looking into a separate sexual harassment allegation declined his offer to view text messages and other documents that he said demonstrated Favre's misconduct.

The N.F.L. fined Favre $50,000 last week for what it said was a lack of honesty and failure to cooperate with an investigation into whether Favre, who was accused of sending lewd messages and photos to a Jets game-day hostess, violated league policy on workplace conduct.

At the time, the N.F.L. also said allegations about whether Favre sent inappropriate text messages to two massage therapists could not be confirmed because the people with potentially relevant information did not cooperate. "
