Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders were among the teams interested in hiring Mike Vrabel, but he told his former teammate not to bother because he was determined to land with the Patriots.

Coach Mike Vrabel addressed the report that he told Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady that he was taking the New England Patriots job. That conversation reportedly led to the Raiders passing on interviewing Vrabel altogether. However, according to Vrabel, that might not have been specifically how things went.

Tom Brady reportedly tried to pitch Mike Vrabel on joining the Raiders, but he didn't get very far before Vrabel joined the Patriots.
