Brian Flores recently accused Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross of paying him to throw football games. And now Dez Bryant has a similar allegation on the Dallas Cowboys.

Brian Flores filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL, the Miami Dolphins, the Denver Broncos, and the New York Giants for alleged racism in hiring. He presented that the teams only brought him in under the facade of the NFL’s Rooney Rule that requires teams to interview a minority candidate for the position.
During an appearance on Get Up this Wednesday, Flores described his experience with Ross in 2019.
Brian Flores spoke about Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offering him $100K for each loss in order to tank.
“That’s not in my DNA. That was never gonna happen.”

Now, former Cowboys All-Pro WR Dez Bryant has accused the Dallas Cowboys of throwing the 2017 NFL season.
Dez Bryant believes the Dallas Cowboys intentionally sabotaged the 2017 season.
In what turned out to be his final season as a Cowboy, Bryant believes the Cowboys intentionally sabotaged their season.
“I’ma tell y’all some crazy s**t. The year that I got cut, I told some athletes, ‘Hey, I feel like our season is being sabotaged.’ It’s no way we should be running the same exact play. I remember going to coach [Jason] Garrett’s office asking him, ‘Hey man, you know I look forward to the game plan… why am I lining up in the same place each and every week?’ I’m one-on-one… Dak [Presott] don’t even look my way… it was so many times on film that the ball didn’t come to me. It got to the point where I got frustrated and said f*** this s**t. I’m gonna air this s**t out in the media.”

The Cowboys finished the season with an abysmal 9-7 record and 2nd place in the NFC East, missing the playoffs despite having a pretty decent team.
