Both former Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson and the head of his foundation accused the Browns of paying him to lose games during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
The allegation came on the heels of Brian Flores suing the NFL and three teams -- the Dolphins, Broncos and Giants -- alleging discrimination regarding his interview processes with Denver and New York and his firing last month by Miami. In the lawsuit, Flores also alleged that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross attempted to incentivize him to "tank," or purposely lose games, shortly after he was hired in 2019, with Ross allegedly offering Flores $100,000 for every loss that season.
