Dana White Explains Disclosing Tom Brady, Raiders Talks During UFC Event

Dana White dropped a huge NFL rumor on Saturday night, revealing that Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski were close to joining the Raiders as free agents in 2020. However, then-Raiders coach Jon Gruden decided against the deal at the last minute.

White appeared on ESPN’s UFC 278 with The Gronks on Saturday night, where he said Gronkowski urged him to tell the story of him recruiting Brady to Las Vegas.

“I didn’t want to talk about that, no, but he sort of sucked me into it on live TV,” White said.
