Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the Dolphins, Giants, Broncos and the NFL on Tuesday, alleging racist practices in hiring.
Flores was fired by the Dolphins in January after posting a a 24–25 record over three years with Miami, having narrowly missed the playoffs in his final two seasons. The 40-year-old former linebacker alleged in Tuesday’s lawsuit that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered him a $100,000 bonus for each loss during the 2019 season, in which Ross apparently wanted to secure the league’s worst record and the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft. Flores didn’t comply with the request.
