What could Titans get if they trade Mike Vrabel?

As rumors continue to swirl about a possible divorce between head coach Mike Vrabel and the Tennessee Titans, it begs the question: what could Tennessee get if they trade Vrabel?

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the situation between Vrabel and the Titans is “not settled” and the two sides are expected to meet after the season to determine what, if any, changes will be made.

Schefter adds that people around the league believe there is the potential for both sides to want to part ways, while also noting that others believe Vrabel isn’t happy with the current situation.

Of course, the Titans would be crazy to just fire Vrabel, as history suggests he would likely net at least a first-round pick, especially when you consider how highly thought of he is around the NFL.

With a Vrabel trade seemingly becoming more possible by the day, let’s take a look at the history of head coach trades, with an assist coming from our friends over at Broncos Wire.

1970: Colts trade Don Shula to Dolphins

Compensation: Colts received first-round pick.

This wasn’t exactly a trade, as the NFL forced the Dolphins to send the Colts a first-round pick for violating tampering rules. It is still widely recognized as one of the head coach trades in NFL history, though.

1997: Patriots trade Bill Parcells to Jets

Compensation: Pats received first-, second-, third- and fourth-round picks.

This was another deal setup by the league after the Jets were originally able to go around the rules in order to hire Parcells. That haul would be unfathomable in this day and age.
