In free agency, while money is the main factor, leadership can sway players' choices. The New England Patriots, under new head coach Mike Vrabel, demonstrate this power. Unlike the previous year with rookie head coach Jerod Mayo, Vrabel's extensive experience and network made the Patriots more attractive to free agents. Players, including Morgan Moses and others, cited Vrabel's ability as a leader and his competitive spirit as key reasons for their decisions to join the team, showcasing the value of a strong coaching presence during free agency.
When you've got a guy like Coach Vrabel, you don't need a pitch. He's won in multiple facets of his career, as a player and as a coach.
Vrabel brought an extensive coaching résumé and far-reaching network with him when he was hired by the Patriots - things Mayo lacked last year.
