After four years apart, Mike Vrabel and A.J. Brown are finally back together again.

Their reunion was made official on Monday when the New England Patriots traded for Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for two draft picks.

The trade reunites Vrabel with Brown, who played his first three NFL seasons for Vrabel with the Tennessee Titans from 2019 to 2021 before being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022.

However, NFL insider Adam Schefter revealed on Tuesday's episode of "Get Up" that Vrabel didn't approve of the Titans trading Brown.

"Mike Vrabel never wanted to trade A.J. Brown away in Tennessee, so he gets back the wide receiver he wanted and needed," Schefter said.

That explains why Vrabel wanted Brown so badly this offseason, zeroing in on him and holding out for him over the last few months.

Now, at long last, Vrabel finally has his star receiver back. While they weren't able to win a Super Bowl in Tennessee, now they have another chance to finish what they started.
