The NFL will reportedly investigate the allegations Brian Flores made concerning Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, specifically his attempt to pay Flores to lose games, per The Washington Post’s Mark Maske and ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
Other rules violations also will be investigated, per Mortensen.
The former Dolphins coach is suing the league, the three franchises and unidentified individuals, alleging discrimination and racism in hiring practices, as well as claims that Ross offered him a $100,000 bonus for each loss during the 2019 season in attempt to secure the league’s worst record and the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft. Flores says he didn’t comply with the request.
