I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Vrabel to KC
Patriots trade Vrabel to Chiefs

In what could be the first of a few offseason exchanges between the teams -- hello, Matt Cassel? -- the New England Patriots have traded Pro Bowl outside linebacker Mike Vrabel to the Kansas City Chiefs for an undisclosed draft choice.
Vrabel
The Chiefs' new general manager is Scott Pioli, formerly vice president of player personnel for the Patriots.
The Patriots lose a fan favorite with the trade, but it clears $3.35 million in salary-cap space for them.
Vrabel will turn 34 before next season. He recorded 67 tackles, four sacks, one interception and one forced fumble last year. He was with the Patriots for all three of their Super Bowl championships.Comment

This doesn't sound good... Rotoworld-
Patriots beat writer Mike Reiss wonders if Mike Vrabel's trade could be part of a larger deal including Matt Cassel.
Now that would be a doozy. Reiss is one of the most well-respected beat writers in the country, and is usually very cautious to publish anything resembling speculation. He rightly points out that we have no idea what the compensation in the Vrabel trade is.Comment
