Jason McCourty, just like coach Hue Jackson, lived the Cleveland Browns’ 0-16 season in 2017.
That experience, he said, is why he believes Jackson is telling the truth when he alleged that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam incentivized “tanking.”
“There’s no way we were trying to win. It was very obvious,” McCourty said on his podcast on Friday. “That is no surprise to anyone. You don’t need me to corroborate the story and say, ‘Oh yeah, we were tanking. We were trying to lose.’ Duh.”

Jackson spoke out earlier this week after former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores filed his lawsuit against the Dolphins, Denver Broncos, New York Giants and the NFL alleging discrimination and more.
