So much for the assumptions that Antonio Brown could be in legal trouble for recording and releasing his conversation with Jon Gruden without consent. The producer of the video said Brown’s camp not only got consent from the Raiders coach, they had his enthusiastic approval.

Video producer Alejandro Narciso said Monday on ESPN’s “Dan LeBatard Show” that Gruden was made aware of the recording – albeit after the fact – and gave what they took as clear permission for it to be included in the odd video Brown put out Friday night on social media, which precipitated his controversial Raiders exit.

Narciso had been filming Brown for a longer piece, and the wantaway wideout was in a conversation with agent Drew Rosenhaus when Gruden called. Narcisco kept filming. He was in the editing process when Brown’s marketing manager pointed out that it would be illegal to record Gruden without the coach’s knowledge or approval.

So, they went out and got it.

“I told AB like, or like we told him, ‘Hey, just send the video to Gruden and see what he thinks. Because we might be able to get some sense that way,’ ” Narciso said, admitting he expected the Raiders coach to say no.

“Then he responds like 15 minutes later, three texts: ‘Wow, I love it. Loved it. I love it!’ And I was like, ‘Whaaat?’ And then we were like, ‘Alright, there’s our consent.’ Like, he just texted you.”

California is a state that requires two-party consent, and illegally recording a phone conversation could carry a jail sentence of up to a year.

It may have been the final call between Gruden and Brown, who was released on Saturday by the Raiders and quickly signed with the Patriots.
