NFL.com's Adam Schefter is reporting that Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel is in Kansas City undergoing a physical. Pending the results of that physical, Vrabel will be traded to the Chiefs. No word yet on what the Patriots will receive in exchange for the former Pro Bowler.
The 2007 Defensive All-Pro will turn 34 prior to the start of the 2009 season. Vrabel, who has spent the last eight seasons with the Patriots, was acquired in 2001 via free agency after Vrabel spent four unsuccessful seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Once the terms of the trade are announced, I'll state my opinion. But for now, allow me to say that Mike Vrabel had a very successful eight years in Foxboro, and I'll miss the tenacity and dedication that he played every snap with.
In other news, long snapper Lonie Paxton has signed with the Denver Broncos. Terms of the deal were undisclosed.
