Dianna Russini's Tweet Days After 2020 Mike Vrabel Interaction Has Surfaced

NFL fans have been going through Dianna Russini's social media posts with a fine-tooth comb while trying to investigate the extent of her relationship with NFL head coach Mike Vrabel. New photos of a rendezvous from 2020 now correlates pretty strongly to some reports she made after it allegedly took place.

Photos released by Page Six on Thursday reportedly show Russini and Vrabel at a bar on March 10-11 of 2020. But as Austin Stanley of AtoZ Sports showed in an old post on X from Russini, there was a very timely report published by Russini afterwards.

On March 15, 2020 - just a few days after the meeting - Russini reported "per sources" that the Titans had no interest in impending free agent Tom Brady and were focused on re-signing QB Ryan Tannehill instead.

"The Titans are not interested in Tom Brady, they are working hard to get a deal done with Ryan Tannehill per sources," Russini wrote in her report.

Caught red-handed?

NFL fans started to wonder if they should have seen the writing on the wall from the get-go, or if more people in the upper echelon of the NFL knew about the relationship than they let on.

"It's almost a headline that didn't need to be reported. But when you don't expect to be caught then you get comfortable. Titans not having interest in Brady could've been written off as a non story/ a given," one user on X admitted.

"Here's an angle I've been thinking about - is it possible that Amy (the Titans owner) knew about this and it factored into her decision to fire him?" another wondered.

"Some Titans employee….saved this for a rainy day? Diabolical," a third remarked.

"Amy hired the PI," a fourth mused.

The days or even hours to come might expose even more conveniently-timed posts from Russini that coincide with times she might have met with Vrabel. We'll just have to wait and see.

The problem that seems to be emerging, and one that the NFL might have to reconcile with sooner or later, is an NFL coach and a journalist having a relationship actively exposing the front office tactics of a team, which can have a cascade effect of issues.
