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.

The Raiders didn’t simply forget to interview Mike Vrabel before he landed with the Patriots. Vrabel told his former Patriots teammate Tom Brady — who owns a minority stake in the Raiders — that he probably was going to end up back in New England, according to an NFL Network report.

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