Ex-Browns coach Hue Jackson says bonuses allegedly tied to tanking plan maxed out at $750,000
Hue Jackson said the end-of-season bonuses he allegedly received from the Browns as part of a plan to lose in the 2016 and 2017 NFL seasons maxed out at $750,000.
Jackson attached a financial figure Thursday to his previous accusations during an interview on ESPN Radio’s “Keyshawn, JWill & Max” show.
