Mike Vrabel discussed why the Patriots didn’t pursue a Micah Parsons trade

Despite recent statements from a Patriots executive there were seemingly to the contrary, Mike Vrabel is taking the long view of rebuilding New England’s roster.

While speaking to WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” on Tuesday, Vrabel was asked about the recent Packers-Cowboys Micah Parsons trade. The blockbuster deal sent the talented pass rusher to Green Bay from Dallas in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive lineman Kenny Clark.

The trade comes only a few weeks after Patriots Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf said at a training camp press conference that the team “would consider” trading first or second-round draft picks to acquire top talent.
