UNDATED (AP) — Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis says he doesn’t believe the team was targeted in the leaking of emails that led to the resignation of coach Jon Gruden. But he wonders about the timing of the leaks, and says he was not given a reason for delays in his team being told about them.

Davis said he would like the league to release a written report of the investigation. The NFL has said it will not be release documents from the independent investigation of the Washington Football Team, saying the league is protecting the identities of those who testified.

Davis also acknowledged the team has reached a settlement with Gruden, who received a 10-year, $100 million contract to return to coach the team in 2018. He did not reveal terms of the settlement.
