The NFL has found no other current team or league personnel to have sent emails containing racist, homophobic or misogynistic language similar to messages written by Jon Gruden that led to his resignation as Las Vegas Raiders coach, according to a person familiar with the documents.

The person familiar with the investigation as well as emails told The Associated Press on Friday that the league “did not identify other areas and other individuals it has to contact at club leadership or league leadership levels.” The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not publicly released what is in the 650,000 emails the independent investigators collected during an investigation of sexual harassment and other workplace conditions at the Washington Football Team.

“The NFL did not identify any problems anywhere near what you saw with Jon Gruden,” the person said. The person did not address any other areas of potential issues found in the emails beyond similarities with Gruden’s comments.

Gruden resigned from his position with the Raiders on Monday after a trove of his emails spanning 7 years (2011-2018) revealed he used homophobic slurs like “faggot” to describe NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and criticized Goodell for allegedly pressuring the St. Louis Rams to draft “queers” (referring to Michael Sam in 2014).
