ALAMEDA — Coach Jon Gruden would not directly address comments Friday made by former Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper that it was Mark Davis who pulled the trigger on the trade to the Dallas Cowboys.
Here was Gruden’s response in its entirety, and it includes a clever swipe ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, who recently aired an NFL update during which he talked of a key matchup between Chargers tight end Hunter Henry and Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson.
Henry is on injured reserve and Johnson signed with the Raiders before being cut midway through the season.
