Brian Flores Says Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross Offered Him $100k For Every Loss To Tank For High Draft Pick

The Miami Dolphins may be in some hot water…

After a messy start to the offseason where the Miami Dolphins canned seemingly promising young head coach Brian Flores, Flores is now suing the NFL and the New York Giants, and details that were meant to be left in the shadows are coming to light.

A report surfaced this week that Miami offered three first round draft picks to the Bengals in order to try to steal away Joe Burrow from being drafted by Cincinnati. The plan to nab Burrow reportedly started long before the draft as Flores has alleged Dolphins owner Stephen Ross of offering him large sums of money to lose games, $100k per to be exact.

Flores says that Stephen Ross, the owner of the Miami Dolphins, offered to pay him $100,000 for every loss during 2019 season to help the team get a better draft spot. Was mad when they kept winning.

Ross reportedly got mad when Flores won the games instead of tanking.

The Dolphins finished 5-11 the season leading up to the draft headlined by Burrow, taking Tua Tagovailoa with the No, 5 overall pick.
