Mike Vrabel will explore all options with his coordinators for the New England Patriots, except for one from the NFC North.
Josh McCown doesn’t have a connection to Vrabel, but he does have one with Drake Maye. The Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach was on the rookie quarterback’s high school football team staff when his sons were on the same team as Maye.
McCown could have been an option for the Patriots to explore, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter quickly shot down the idea in his appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show” on Friday. The NFL insider stated that McCown would stay in Minnesota unless he was offered a head coaching job; the New York Jets reportedly interviewed the 2002 third-round pick for their vacant head coaching position.
