The NFL is reportedly opening an investigation over if the Cleveland Browns instructed then-head coach Hue Jackson to tank during the 2016 and 2017 season, providing Jackson incentives if his team lost games.
That investigation has been confirmed by the NFL who told Sports Illustrated:
“The review is ongoing and is expected to conclude soon.”
It is being led by former SEC Chair Mary Jo White.
Jackson publicly made allegations about being paid to tank earlier in the offseason following Brian Flores’ claim that Miami Dolphins’ owner Stephen Ross said he’d pay Flores $100,000 per loss during the 2019 season.
