After a weekend that saw UFC president, Dana White, tell a story that claimed he almost landed the Las Vegas Raiders a shot at Tom Brady, Raiders owner Mark Davis offered his understanding of what went down during the summer of 2020.

Davis, in his answer, was noncommittal.

"I heard about [White's comments]," Davis said, via the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "That was what — two to three years ago or something? I don't know, man. Talk to Dana. I remember that Tom Brady went to Tampa Bay. That's basically what I remember. I have no idea. Dana has the stories."

It's hard to believe that the Raiders didn't go after Brady. If White's story wasn't true, Davis would have easily said something along the lines of "no, that didn't happen."

Davis had an opportunity to deny everything. Instead, he danced around the question like a tap dancer on stage.

Initially, White revealed the story on UFC's GronkCast on Saturday night with Rob Gronkowski.

"It was almost a done deal, and at the last minute, Gruden blew the deal up and said that he didn't want him, and all hell broke loose," White said. 'It was crazy. Brady was already looking at houses. It wasn't being said yet that Gronk was coming. So Las Vegas would have had Brady and Gronk the year that the Bucs won the Super Bowl, except Gruden blew the deal up."

It's easy to throw White away as an unreliable source, but Gronkowski did provide some confirmation of the events which took place.

"That is exactly what happened," Gronkowski said when White finished the story.

Though no one can go back in time, it is still interesting to examine how close the Raiders were to landing one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL.
