After winning three Super Bowl titles as a defensive leader in New England, could Mike Vrabel’s career with the Patriots come full circle this winter?
The 48-year-old Patriots Hall of Famer and 2021 AP NFL Coach of the Year is now a free agent after getting fired by the Titans Tuesday after six years with the organization.
Despite missing the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, Vrabel’s dismissal was viewed as a surprise. Tennessee opted to not try and trade Vrabel — who was still under contract — because the process was “too complicated”, even if the organization could have gained draft capital or other assets in return, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
