Brian Flores: 'Trust was lost' with Miami Dolphins after $100,000-per-loss tanking offer from owner

The day after announcing his lawsuit against the NFL, New York Giants, Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos, Brian Flores elaborated on his allegations of racial discrimination and unethical practices.

Specifically pertaining to his time with the Dolphins, Flores, the team's former coach, said owner Stephen Ross explicitly offered him $100,000 for each loss the team suffered in 2019, in an attempt to strengthen the value of the Dolphins' draft pick.

Flores was hired by Miami before the 2019 season, taking over a team that was expected to be one of the worst in the NFL that season.
