Brian Flores' legal team 'definitely would share' evidence Dolphins offered him money to lose games with NFL

Arguably the biggest potential bombshell in the much-publicized class-action lawsuit filed by former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores earlier this month is a claim that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered Flores $100,000 per loss for the 2019 NFL season so the club could better its draft position by "tanking" that campaign. 

A report later surfaced that Flores' team has "corroborating evidence" and also that a witness can back Flores' damning allegation. Per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, Doug Wigdor, Flores' attorney, said during an interview on "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" that will air on Tuesday that Flores and his legal team "definitely have corroborating evidence" that can confirm the tanking accusation. 

"We definitely would share it with them," Wigdor said about speaking with NFL officials at some point down the road. 

Ross vehemently denied offering Flores money to intentionally lose games in a statement released on Feb. 3. For a piece published/updated on Feb. 14, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Ross could lose control of the Dolphins "by a vote of fellow owners" if an NFL investigation finds he offered Flores $100,000 for each defeat in 2019. 

"I do believe that clubs do have the authority to remove an owner from the league," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters the Wednesday before Super Bowl LVI. Rapoport added a three-fourths vote among owners could force Ross out of the NFL.
