Vrabel's so happy to be a Chief!
http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/823
Vrabel, for his part, admitted that was "confused" when New England traded him, along with quarterback Matt Cassel, to the Chiefs in early March. "I’m here. I didn’t sign up. There’s a difference in this league in being a free agent and being traded," Vrabel said. "I don’t know what to tell you. I got a call in March, and here I am. "Don’t confuse that I’m not excited to be here, because I’m here and I’m happy. ... I want to be here." Vrabel said he skipped the Chiefs' previous organized team activities because the practices were considered optional, something Vrabel pointed out is a point of emphasis when the players' union negotiates a collective bargaining agreement with the league. He said his absence meant simply that he was complying with his rights as a player under that agreement. "I was just trying to exercise my rights within the CBA," he said. "I’m happy as heck to be here right now." Backtracking much? It's pretty obvious he's pissed that he's not in New England anymore. Oh, and sorry if repost. |

Dude has made his career and life in NE. I can understand that being here is not high on his list. And I mean being here as in KC. not the Chiefs.

No one wants to be traded to a rebuilding team when your career has been part of a dynasty. He is a true professional and is doing his job. Anyone being honest about the situation, couldnt ask for more from Mr. Vrabel. I am glad to have him.

Honesty is good and well, but when he's brought over to be a locker room leader and to set an example, this doesn't bode well.

He showed up when he was supposed to, he is saying all the right things. Haley said he adapted to the scheme very well and has mastered all the drills, already. What else do you want?

lol, why would a guy at the tail end of his career who has won superbowls be excited to join a rebuilding team?

Well, If he is really pissed about it then just retire.
It's not like he has anything to prove or that he is going to earn tons of bucks from here on out to secure his finacial future. So either play and be a contributor/leader or get the heck out.

I'm beginning to doubt he'll ever play a down in the red and gold. Hope I'm wrong, but it's just some weird feeling I get.
