First it was in the NBA, then MLB, now the NFL. It followed right on the heels of analytics.

Now that's not to say players and coaches try to lose. They don't. Teams just clear out big contracts, don't bring in any great players, and make it very difficult to win for a couple years.

Rack up draft picks, get your franchise QB, and also have a ton of cap room. The Browns did it this way, and then the Bengals. Jags are in the middle of it, but they really botched the HC.
