Former Browns DB Jason McCourty: 'No Way' We Were Trying to Win During 0-16 Season

Jason McCourty, who was a member of the 0-16 Cleveland Browns in 2017, is backing up suggestions from Hue Jackson that the team wasn't trying to win games.

Speaking on his Double Coverage podcast (starts at 9:45 mark), McCourty said "there is no way" the Browns were trying to win games.

McCourty did add none of the players were privy to any conversations about tanking, but "it was very obvious" the Browns weren't putting their best foot forward in 2017.

Jackson, who coached the Browns from 2016 to 2018, implied on Twitter this week that team owner Jimmy Haslam was giving him bonus money with each loss during the winless season.
