Uh-oh. Accusations that the NFL knew about it and covered it up. And they say they have records to prove it.
"Diemert said in a phone interview with ESPN that their proof is "well documented" and previously had been "presented to the league." Diemert declined to say how much money was discussed.
Diemert told ESPN that she and Jackson stand by her tweet that the Browns paid several executives and Jackson bonus money to "tank" in 2016 and '17.
When pressed to be more specific, she said: "The Cleveland Browns had a four-year plan in place to not win games ..." and, when pressed again, she repeated that "there was a four-year plan put in place by ownership and executives which resulted in strategic losses."
