And 100% we should trade him if given a good enough package. I doubt we will get a 1st rounder since the Pats seem like a lock for a top 5 pick, so let's take a look at a potential trade.
Using the Payton trade as reference (and using the draft pick calculator) we can assume that Payton was valued somewhere between 1000 and 1100 points in draft pick value. But it's worth noting that Payton was not the current coach of the Saints at the time of the trade. So we could potentially demand more. However, Payton was also a SB winning coach while Vrabel has only guided this team to 2 playoff wins in what will be 6 years. But for shits and giggles we will use the Payton trade as a baseline:
Pats receive Vrabel + Titans 5th round pick this year
Titans receive Pats 2nd this yr and 2nd next year.
Total value received would be between 900 - 950 points depending where NE finishes this year.
This is the bare minimum of an acceptable trade for me. And I am still not sure that I do it.
