‘He’s made it clear’ – Mike Vrabel moots Tom Brady private message after his Super Bowl comments

Tom Brady was not exactly backing the New England Patriots ahead of their Super Bowl clash against the Seattle Seahawks earlier this year. Despite being former teammates with Mike Vrabel and the Patriots’ greatest-ever player, Brady opted to remain neutral ahead of the game.

‘He’s made it clear’ – Mike Vrabel moots Tom Brady private message after his Super Bowl comments

Mike Vrabel, the head coach of the New England Patriots, has spoken out about Tom Brady's comments leading up to the team's Super Bowl clash against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite being former teammates, Brady remained neutral ahead of the game, stating he 'didn't have a dog in the fight'. However, Brady's comments have left some Patriots fans feeling uncomfortable.

Vrabel, speaking to the media, said, "No. I mean, clearly Tom's gone out of his way to make it known that he's trying to, you know, he has a new job and a new role and, you know, it is really, what it is." He emphasized that Brady is a friend and former teammate, but he has made it clear that Vrabel is now doing something new. Brady's current involvement in the Las Vegas Raiders and his role as a commentator for Fox Sports have added complexity to his allegiances.

Since the Super Bowl loss, Brady has been instrumental in the Seahawks hiring the team's former offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, as their new head coach.
