“If they were smart, they’d go to Oakland,” Gruden said, via Tarik El-Bashir of NBCSportsWashington.com. “Seriously, what an entertainment value that would be. Antonio Brown, Jon Gruden, Paul Guenther, Vontaze Burfict, [Richie] Incognito … They’d be crazy not to go to Oakland.”
Giants, Lions, and 49ers are still contestants to be on the show.
“initially be a distraction” if his team was chosen, he believes they’d be able to make it work in a way that allows them to also accomplish their goals in training camp. He added that “they can do us next year,”
“If we don’t make the playoffs, I probably won’t be here anyway so …,” Gruden said.
