The NFL concludes on the Hue Jackson's tanking allegations against the Browns
Hue Jackson was the Cleveland Browns' Head coach from 2016 to 2018. During his time in Cleveland, it's safe to say the Browns were straight-up bad. Hue Jackson somehow survived for 40-games as the head coach, with a record of 3-36-1, including an 0-16 season in 2017.
He tweeted in February that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam offered him "a good number" to lose games in 2016-17.
However, none of Hue Jackson's tanking allegations against the Cleveland Browns could be substantiated, the NFL announced in a statement Monday afternoon.
Following a 60-day review of the comments made by the former Browns HC, the investigation said there was "no evidence to suggest that the Browns' Four-Year Plan or the club's ownership or football personnel sought to lose or incentivized losses and made no decisions deliberately to weaken the team to secure a more favourable draft position."
Here is the statement that the Cleveland Browns wrote today following the news:
Cleveland remained adamant throughout the process that Jackson's allegations were fabricated.
