Hue Jackson joins the party
Former Browns head coach Hue Jackson implied on Twitter that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam paid him to lose games.
Jackson tweeted "Trust me it was a good number!" in response to a tweet suggesting he was not paid $100,000 per loss, as former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores alleges he was offered by Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. Executive director of Jackson's foundation, Kimberly Diemert followed up with a tweet claiming that they have records that Jackson and Browns executives--including current general manager Andrew Berry--were paid to tank in 2016 and 2017. It's possible that Jackson plans to sign on to Flores' class action suit against the NFL. In either case, this story is far from over.
Boy if they can start proving that owners were paying coaches to tank that?s going to be a major story. It?s pretty clear when teams are tanking but paying coaches extra incentives for losing is a new one to me.
Is the recently fired Texans coach going to join the fray?
This did get me thinking on how it could work if there was no draft - only a salary cap. I think then endorsements deals would start to be a problem
