Former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel have been in the news ever since pictures of them sharing a cosy moment surfaced. Though Mike laughed at the pictures initially, he later took accountability for his actions. Soon, Dianna Russini also resigned from her position at The Athletic.
Will the Patriots pay Dianna Russini to stay silent in the Mike Vrabel controversy?
According to the latest reports, there were rumours that Dianna would share her side of the story in the media. And amid this, there are rumours that a non-disclosure agreement might be in place. As the Patriots have expressed their full support for Vrabel in this situation, there is a chance an NDA might be signed.
Pro Football Talk noted that “some sort of settlement agreement, with an NDA, would not be unprecedented in a situation like this.” But as of now, no such agreement has been confirmed by either Mike Vrabel, or the Patriots or Dianna herself. These are mere speculations and are based on the reports doing rounds in the media.

“As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organisation, and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them.
