UFC president Dana White claimed Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to the Raiders was 'almost a done deal' but then-coach Jon Gruden 'blew the deal up.'
USA TODAY Sports' Andy Nesbitt and Mike Jones predict what's in store for star quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady in 2022.UFC president Dana White claimed Saturday that he helped put a deal in place to bring Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020, but then-Raiders coach Jon Gruden"blew the deal up."
On"UFC 278 with the Gronks," Gronkowski said that White gave Brady a recruiting pitch when he was a free agent, and he asked White"what went wrong" and why Brady didn't sign with Vegas. Gronkowski said he did, then added:"You never know, I could have been in Vegas with you the last three years man, what the heck?" "I worked to put that deal together for Brady and Gronk to come to the Raiders," White said."It was almost a done deal.
"All hell broke loose man, it was crazy. Brady was already looking at houses and it wasn't being said yet that Gronk was coming. So Las Vegas would have had Brady and Gronk the year the Bucs won the Super Bowl except Gruden blew the deal up. There's so much story that goes along with this behind the scenes ... I was never going to tell that story until Gronk just said it."
