Just spoke with #Raiders owner Mark Davis: "I have no comment. Ask the NFL. They have all the answers." Also confirmed that Mike Mayock remains GM and now has 51 percent control of roster decisions, with interim coach Rich Bisaccia at 49 percent. Was Gruden 51/Mayock 49 before.

Jon Gruden undoubtedly pissed off Roger Goodell and the NFL after the leaked emails revealed the former coach constantly calling out the commissioner and using derogatory terms when speaking about him. And Mark Davis has made himself Gruden’s right hand man for the past three years.

However, these emails being discovered are from 2011, and don’t seem to involve Davis or anyone else in the Raiders organization.

But if the NFL continues to dig for dirt, they could find something that would prove detrimental to Mark Davis and his future in the league.
