NFL statement: “The email from Jon Gruden denigrating DeMaurice Smith is appalling, abhorrent and wholly contrary to the NFL’s values. We condemn the statement and regret any harm that its publication may inflict on Mr. Smith or anyone else.” https://t.co/b9IUku9saH
Deuce Gruden, son of Jon Gruden, will remain on Raiders staff after dad's resignation
On Monday night, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Deuce Gruden, son of Jon Gruden, remains with the Raiders in his role of assistant strength and conditioning coach.
Certainly, this is an uncomfortable spot for the younger Gruden to be in. He previously worked for his uncle Jay Gruden while he was on the hot seat, but he was already with Las Vegas when his uncle was fired during the 2019 season. Now, he is in the midst of team and family drama following his father's resignation.
Nonetheless, it appears for the moment that he's willing to stick around and continue working for the Raiders.

Not entirely true. Eric Bieniemy has a job. [Reply]
