While Robert Kraft has reportedly viewed Mike Vrabel as a dream successor to Bill Belichick, the Patriots owner might not want to pay a possible extra premium to make it happen.
The Patriots won’t try to trade for Vrabel from the Titans if they parted ways with Belichick this offseason, The Athletic‘s Dianna Russini reported Saturday.
The idea of the Patriots possibly reuniting with Vrabel this offseason first came up shortly after he was inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame in October. Vrabel curiously referred to the Patriots as “we” during his halftime speech when they faced the Bills in Week 7.
