Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis is the first NFL owner to publicly say there should be a written report from the NFL’s investigation into Washington’s toxic workplace.
“Probably. Yeah, I think that there should be,” Davis said Wednesday when asked if he would like to see a written report, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. “Especially with some of the things that were charged. Yeah, I believe so. I think people deserve it, especially the people there were ‘victims.’”
Davis was in the lobby of the New York hotel where NFL owners meetings had taken place over the last two days.
Davis, of course, was the owner most impacted by the leaked emails from former Washington team president Bruce Allen. His former coach, Jon Gruden, sent numerous offensive emails back and forth to Allen when Gruden worked as an analyst for ESPN. Gruden took over as head coach of the Raiders in 2018 and resigned earlier this month.
Davis was asked if he had any recent conversations with Gruden.
“He’s hurt, he’s really hurt. I understand that. But he understands the ramifications of what he said,” Davis said of Gruden, per USA TODAY.
The Raiders have a long history of battling with the NFL that goes back to when Al Davis — Mark’s father — publicly sparred with the NFL for years.
“We’re Raiders. We’re used to this,” Mark Davis said.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reiterated on Tuesday the league would not release details from the investigation into Washington.
