Former Cleveland Browns quarterback and franchise legend Bernie Kosar is suing Bigplay, a sports media company, after alleging that it mandated him to place a $19,000 wager on his former team, a bet that ultimately led to him losing his pregame radio show analyst gig with the franchise.

Kosar is looking for over $850,000 in damages as well as roughly $25,000 in attorneys' fees. A copy of the lawsuit can be found here, via Alec Sapolin of 19 News.

Kosar once worked as an analyst on the Browns' pregame radio show.
