“I worked to put that deal together for Brady and Gronk to come to the Raiders. And it was almost a done deal. And at the last minute, Gruden blew the deal up and said that he didn’t want it and all hell broke loose, man. It was crazy and Brady was already looking at houses…” White said in an interview.
But according to White, former NFL coach Jon Gruden botched the historic deal, which is why it never materialized.
