Former Dolphins coach Brian Flores’ allegation that team owner Stephen Ross offered to pay him to lose games warrants a criminal investigation, a longtime Miami criminal defense attorney said Tuesday night.
And Ross also stands at risk of significant punishment if the NFL can corroborate Flores’ allegations that the Dolphins owner offered to pay Flores $100,000 per loss in 2019 — with the goal of a higher draft pick — and that Ross pressured him to recruit a quarterback in violation of the league’s tampering rules.
Whether the NFL will investigate the matter remains to be seen.
