""We have to look at everybody and understand how they can help us. We would have to do our homework on somebody. I don't think that there's a lot of guys with issues out there," Vrabel said on WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show" on Monday. "We never want to disrupt the locker room. We also want to bring in good players that we think could fit. Maybe they haven't been around our program or we don't necessarily know them, but we would still welcome them."
""I don't know who that is. It would be on a case by case basis," he added. "So I think we would have to look at everybody that could potentially help us or make us better. I don't think that that's a huge concern. If there was a red flag, or somebody was like, 'This isn't going to work,' then we wouldn't explore it.""
The New England Patriots are 7-2 and riding a six-game winning streak while still facing roster needs ahead of the trade deadline less than 24 hours away. Primary needs include another running back, an edge rusher, and improved linebacker and safety depth. The linebacker corps is thin and could be affected by Christian Elliss's hip injury. The coaching staff favors smaller, agile linebackers who can drop into coverage, making hybrid players a potential fit. Any roster additions will be evaluated case by case with caution to avoid disrupting team chemistry.
