Perry: Vrabel must promise ‘respectability' from Pats in 2025

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel will address the media Tuesday for the first time since his introductory press conference. When he takes the podium at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, he'll be expected to share his outlook on free agency, the draft, and a potential bounce-back season in Foxboro.

During last month's press conference, Vrabel emphasized "removing entitlement" from the Patriots locker room and holding the entire organization accountable. That's an encouraging start, but it won't mean much if it doesn't translate to winning football games. Pats fans are restless after back-to-back 4-13 seasons, and there's no excuse for being non-competitive in 2025 as they enter the offseason with an abundance of salary cap space and the fourth overall draft pick.
