Every offseason fans have been daydreaming about Tom Brady in a Miami Dolphins uniform; How about the Raiders?
During an appearance on The Gronks on Saturday night, UFC commissioner Dana White told viewers he had a deal to bring Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to Las Vegas to play the Raiders.
However, Jon Gruden apparently blew it and the rest is history.
“Dana White just said he put together a deal to bring Tom Brady and Gronk to the Raiders BUT Gruden blew it at the last second. NFL GM Dana White,” said Barstool Sports.
A stunning revelation and, if true, one of the biggest in NFL history.
“Seconds @danawhite, @TomBrady & @RobGronkowski they were so close to signing with him @Raidersbut Jon Gruden jumped on the deal,” wrote Omaha Productions.
“Dana White is dropping some serious stuff,” said one fan. “It might be hard to believe that he could even orchestrate this, but is there anyone who does NOT get a call from him? How many times are there high-profile people orchestrating deals in sports?”
“Damn you Jon Gruden!!! imagine Tom Brady and Gronk on the Raiders that would be Super Bowl titles written in Las Vegas,” commented another fan.
Why on earth would Jon Gruden get in the way of this? Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski in a Raiders uniform would have been must-see TV.
