Vrabel Not At Chiefs’ Minicamp

Earlier today, we passed on the information that tight end Tony Gonzalez and offensive guard Brian Waters are skipping the Kansas Chiefs’ voluntary minicamp. Both of those veteran players have been widely labeled as disgruntled after making trade demands earlier this offseason. One other notable player that’s also not attending the minicamp is newly-acquired outside linebacker Mike Vrabel, according to Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star. Vrabel is absent for unspecified reasons. However, Vrabel isn’t believed to have any problem with the Chiefs and was recently singled out by the new Scott Pioli-Todd Haley regime as their model player as far as attitude and toughness. Meanwhile, running back Larry Johnson, who’s participating in the minicamp, declined to talk to reporters.
