“I’m Required Contractually”: Mike Vrabel Gives Bizarre Response to Meeting Patriots Legend Tom Brady

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel joked during a press conference that he is contractually required to meet with former teammate Tom Brady ahead of Week 9. Brady is scheduled to visit Gillette Stadium as a color commentator for FOX Sports when the New England Patriots host the Green Bay Packers. Vrabel noted that the standard pregame production meeting would likely take place over Zoom rather than in person.

Despite the humorous response, Vrabel affirmed that he and Brady remain close friends after playing together for eight seasons. Vrabel also stated that he anticipates seeing Brady during Rob Gronkowski's induction ceremony on Saturday. For his part, Brady expressed emotional nostalgia regarding his upcoming return to Gillette Stadium.
