During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter discussed Vrabel's return to the franchise and indicated that executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf was going to report to Vrabel. In short, as Schefter put it, "Vrabes is the man," in New England, when McAfee asked about the front-office hierarchy.

The Dallas Cowboys and Mike McCarthy are officially going their separate ways after McCarthy spent five seasons as the head coach of the Cowboys. It appeared as though the two sides might be working towards a new deal when Dallas blocked the Chicago Bears from interviewing McCarthy last week.

Mike Vrabel discussed the appeal of the Patriots, Eliot Wolf's role in New England, and more during his introductory press conference Monday.
