Mike Vrabel has constantly worn his passion on his sleeve, and he did not search happy when the Titans traded A.J. Brown Thursday evening.
Brown was swapped to the Eagles for the 18th over-all pick and a 3rd-rounder throughout the initial round of the NFL Draft.
Months in the past, on the “Rich Eisen Display,” the Titans’ head mentor was asked if Brown was on the trade block.
“Not as very long I’m the head mentor,” Vrabel stated. “I like A.J. professionally, personally. I have gotten to know him properly as his mentor and enjoy seeing him as a lot as I probably can. I saw him in below operating out earlier. I said hello. As extended as I’m the mentor here, I would want to have A.J. Brown on my football team.
Right after news of the trade broke, NFL Community slice to the Titans’ war space, in which Vrabel stood up, took a lap around the place and shook his head.
This all would make for a remarkable television. Yet, it’s unattainable to imagine that Vrabel wasn’t knowledgeable that these talks were being ongoing beforehand. As a competitive man or woman dropping his major huge receiver, obviously this news wouldn’t be some thing that Vrabel would’ve been in favor of, but it is highly not likely Titans GM Jon Robinson still left the reigning AP Mentor of the 12 months in the dim.
The Titans have recognised for awhile that there was distance involving them and Brown’s contract demands — the Eagles gave the receiver a 4-yr deal reportedly truly worth $100 million with $57 million certain. Hence, even if it had been Vrabel’s choice to soak up the value to retain the 2020 Professional Bowler, he was knowledgeable of the actuality.
With the 18th total decide on they acquired from the Eagles, the Titans picked Arkansas wideout Treylon Burks, a speedy deep threat they hope can replace Brown’s output for Ryan Tannehill and the offense.
