Minicamp wrapped up Wednesday in Foxboro, and players will have five weeks off to get ready for camp. But Vrabel made it clear players should still be putting in a lot of work leading up to training camp.
"I don't think it's a downtime. It's time away from the facility. I think it's important. It's probably the five most important weeks of the offseason as far as I'm concerned, just in my history as a player and a coach," Vrabel said Tuesday. "It's critical that they come back in shape, that they're ready to go for training camp, that we're prepared as coaches with the schedule, the installation and what we're doing. The players have to hold up their end of the bargain to prepare for training camp."
