Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel touched on a number of topics during an appearance on the Official Titans Podcast, hosted by Amie Wells and “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith.
One of the hot topics of the Titans’ offseason has been the trade of Jurrell Casey, and now, what will the Titans do with the money saved by dealing him to the Denver Broncos for a seventh-round pick.
Vrabel made it clear he thought the move was “best for our football team,” according to Jim Wyatt of Titans Online.
“We are just trying to do what is best for our football team,” Vrabel said. “Jurrell was an amazing player. The two years that I was here he was great for our football team, and there’s tough decisions that you have to make every year. Just like we talk about with all decisions, whether it is on-field decisions or decisions about practice or personnel, we are trying to make them with the best interest of the football team in mind and that’s really what it came down to.”
It’s hard to make that argument when the Titans haven’t made a move to replace Casey, or done anything significant with the money saved.
Sure, Casey was getting up there in age and was making a lot of money, but he was still supremely important to Tennessee’s defense and a fan-favorite.
At this point, almost anything less than signing Jadeveon Clowney, who the team has been in contact with, will leave fans frustrated with the deal.
The Netflix documentary “Tiger King” has taken the nation by storm during the coronavirus outbreak, and Vrabel himself has actually tuned in to watch it.
He compared it to episodes of “The Jerry Springer Show”, while also noting he finished watching “Ozark”, also per Wyatt.
“Ozark, I finished Ozark,” Vrabel said. “I fell into the trap of the Tiger King unfortunately – the kids were watching it and (my wife) Jen was watching it.”
“It was like back when I used to watch Jerry Springer, when you thought that the next episode couldn’t be any more ridiculous than the one before,” Vrabel said. “That’s what I felt like I was watching.”
Among the other topics Vrabel spoke about, he said his favorite player growing up was quarterback Bernie Kosar. He also said he wouldn’t want to be quarantined with Taylor Lewan because he isn’t quiet enough, or Ben Jones because he probably uses too much toilet paper.
