Texts sent around the NFL say Dianna Russini plans to announce a new sports media job next week, according to reports confirmed by OutKick.
Industry chatter points to a gambling or prediction outlet, though no employer has been identified.
Russini resigned from The Athletic in April after photos surfaced showing her with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, prompting scrutiny of their relationship.
September brought a formal finding from The Athletic that the relationship violated its standards and should have been disclosed, regardless of whether it was romantic.
Her return would test whether she can move from NFL reporting into a more personality-driven role after months of reputational fallout.
