Dianna Russini, who resigned from The Athletic in April, is reportedly planning a return to sports media next week. Russini has informed individuals around the NFL that she will announce a new job soon, according to OutKick, which cites ProFootballTalk.
While the exact nature of her new position remains unclear, industry sources suggest it may involve a role with a gambling or prediction provider. This potential move follows a period of scrutiny after photos surfaced of Russini with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel. The Athletic conducted a review and stated that Russini's relationship with Vrabel was "in clear violation of The Athletic's standards" and "should have been disclosed."
