Early life

Professional career

New York Jets

Fabini was selected by the New York Jets in the fourth round (111th overall) of the 1998 NFL draft. [4] He became a starter at right tackle as a rookie under head coach Bill Parcells.

In 1999, he started 9 games (8 at right tackle and one at left tackle) and was lost for the season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament, in the ninth game against the New England Patriots. In 2000, he became the starter at left tackle and helped the offensive line tie a league low 20 sacks allowed on the season. He remained in that role and didn't miss a game for the next 4 seasons.

In 2005, he was moved to right tackle after struggling on the left side. He started 9 games before he was placed on the injured reserve list with a torn chest muscle. [5] On February 22, he was released for salary cap reasons.

Dallas Cowboys

On March 18, 2006, he was signed as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys, reuniting him with his former Jets head coach Bill Parcells.

Washington Redskins

On March 26, 2007, Fabini signed a one-year deal with the Washington Redskins. [7] He replaced an injured Randy Thomas at right guard in the second week and went on to start in 13 games. [8]

He signed a second contract with the Redskins exactly one year later on March 26, 2008. He appeared in 7 games with 2 starts. He was not re-signed after the season. [9]
