Brian Flores, the former Dolphins head coach and current Steelers senior defensive assistant, responded to the NFL’s investigation into allegations of tampering and tanking at the Miami club in a statement Tuesday.
The six-month probe was launched in February after Flores filed a lawsuit against the league, three of its teams—the Giants, Broncos and Dolphins—and 29 “John Doe” teams for racist practices in hiring. He also said that Miami owner Stephen Ross offered him a $100,000 bonus for each game lost in 2019 to better position the club in the ’20 draft and that Ross tried to get Flores to recruit “a prominent quarterback,” later identified as Tom Brady, who was under contract to another team during a meeting on the owner’s yacht.
