Ex-Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores is making serious accusations against his former team in his statement of claim. According to the lawsuit, the owner even asked him to manipulate the possible signing of Tom Brady.

Munich/Miami – The former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Brian Flores, is on a mission. He wants to expose the abuses he himself experienced in the NFL. To this end, he has already filed a lawsuit of more than 50 pages with a federal court.

His former team does not come off well at all. Flores stated that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross had tried to get him to violate current NFL rules in order to bring a prominent quarterback onto the team after the 2019 season.

This, according to media reports, is none other than Tom Brady.

Was Flores pressured?

So Ross is said to have put pressure on Flores to recruit the prominent playmaker on his yacht. But the head coach reportedly refused and left the arranged lunch early so as not to violate “tampering” rules.

The problem: Brady was still under contract with the New England Patriots at the time and, accordingly, was not a free agent with whom the team would have been allowed to negotiate under regulations.

“From that point forward, Mr. Flores was ostracised and ultimately fired,” the lawsuit states.

Brady decided to play for the Buccaneers

The former head coach and the resigned signal caller already knew each other from New England. Flores had worked there as an assistant coach before being hired by the Dolphins.

The rejected lunch, by the way, would also be a plausible explanation for the long-standing rumours in Miami that Brady would have preferred to join the Dolphins instead of the Buccaneers if Flores had not been head coach there at the time.
