Key takeaways from the Hue Jackson ‘tanking’ case and dismissal

The independent investigation into former Browns head coach Hue Jackson’s claims that the team financially incentivized losing games during his Cleveland tenure ended with no evidence that supported Jackson. A new and detailed report on the investigation and the claims has come out in the wake of Monday’s dismissal of the claims.

Gary Gramling and Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated wrote a lengthy investigative report on the entire case. While many Browns fans knew quite a bit of the grisly details before, it’s still a good read and a worthy refresher of how far the team has come from the time when Jackson went 3-36-1 as the team’s head coach with a substantially inferior roster to what the team fields today.

Here are some of the takeaways from their informative piece and on the overall Browns situation with Jackson.
