4 NFL players who had an affair with a teammate's wife or girlfriend ft. Marcus Allen

The life of an NFL player has plenty of perks. Players get an absurd amount of attention from fans, they get paid an astronomical amount and women sometimes throw themselves at these popular athletes.

For most, the act of being unfaithful never even crosses their mind. Some, however, do not share the same thought process.

Here are four NFL players who had an affair with their teammate's wife or girlfriend.

#1 Golden Tate

Washington Redskins v Philadelphia Eagles

Tate was a valuable member of the Seattle Seahawks team that made it to back-to-back Super Bowls.

Tate was a good receiver, but not a good teammate according to reports. By the end of 2013, his contract was up and Russell Wilson did not want him on the team anymore. Why you ask?

The season in which Tate left the Seahawks was the same year that Wilson divorced his first wife. It was alleged that the Seahawks quarterback found out about Tate and his wife getting together.

It is pertinent to note that Tate has strongly denied having an affair with Meem.

#2 DeMarco Murray

Washington Redskins v Dallas Cowboys

The former Cowboys, Eagles and Titans running back apparently had an affair with his teammate Brennan Clay's wife while in college at Oklahoma.

Clay reportedly had no idea that his wife and Murray were together. It wasn't until he saw some rather steamy phone messages that it became apparent what was happening.

Clay publicly accused his wife of cheating on him and posted what he claimed were intimate text messages between her and Murray on social media.

#3 Colin Kaepernick

New Orleans Saints v San Francisco 49ers

Colin Kaepernick was allegedly involved with a teammate's better half during his time with the San Francisco 49ers.

Kaepernick reportedly hooked up with then MTV star Nessa, who was dating the quarterback's teammate Aldon Smith at the time.

The two came to blows during a practice session and that was that. Nessa was soon Smith's ex and began to openly date Kaepernick.

#4 Marcus Allen

Allen at the 2022 NFL Draft - Rounds 2-3

Marcus Allen and OJ Simpson's wife, Nicole Brown, were rumored to have been together while Nicole was dating the star running back.

Allen denied cheating with his teammate’s wife, but Nicole wrote about it in her diary.

NFL agent Mike Gilbert, who represented both Simpson and Allen, all but revealed in a 2016 documentary that the affair took place. Gilbert said that shortly after Nicole ended attempts to reconcile with Simpson, the running back told her: "You ever see Marcus again and I will kill you."
