That doesnt even remotely mean he was going to get cut.
Barring an extension, Vrabel is only under contract through 2009. Perhaps next year they would have let him walk, but that doesnt mean they planned to cut him as you keep repeatedly insisting is the case. There has been absolutely nothing said at any point during the offseason to even suggest the Pats were considering letting go of Vrabel.
But if he wasnt in their long term plans and they were going to let him walk in a year, it makes sense that they would take the opportunity to get something for him, even if its just a 6th-7th round pick.
