Former Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson clarified in an interview with CNN on Friday night that he was never paid to lose games, but evidence that team ownership and executives intended to lose during the 2016 and 2017 seasons "will come to light at the right time."
"No, I was never offered money like Brian [Flores] had mentioned," Jackson told CNN. "I think this is a totally different situation but has some similarities."
On Wednesday, Jackson and Kimberly Diemert, the executive director of the Hue Jackson Foundation, which works to prevent human trafficking, began tweeting in response to Flores' lawsuit against the NFL and three teams - the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos and New York Giants - alleging discrimination regarding his interview processes with Denver and New York and his firing last month by Miami.
