Titans owner explained the decision to fire Mike Vrabel instead of trading him

The Titans and Mike Vrabel: Despite leading the Titans to four consecutive winning seasons, including a run to the AFC Championship game in 2020, Mike Vrabel was fired by Tennessee on Tuesday.

The decision was met with surprise around the NFL despite the Titans’ recent downturn of consecutive losing seasons.

Vrabel, who helped the Patriots win three Super Bowls as a player during the 2000s, has been recently mentioned as a possible successor to Bill Belichick (whose fate as Patriots head coach remains to be seen).

Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk released a statement on Tuesday explaining her decision, citing the team’s 13-21 record since 2021.
