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

He claims that he helped negotiate a deal between Las Vegas and Brady, but Gruden backed out at the last second.
“They were negotiating the deal and they were really close to getting it done, and then Gruden pulled the deal,” he said. “Brady was not happy about it. Neither was I.” However, White never intended to reveal that information in any scenario until he appeared on Gronkowski’s broadcast.Brady would go on to sign with the Buccaneers and win another Super Bowl, while the Raiders stuck with Derek Carr, who remains the team’s quarterback.
