A new wild theory has emerged.

Social media sleuths think they’ve uncovered the reason behind Mike Vrabel’s mysterious hangout with Dianna Russini.

On Tuesday, photos emerged of Mike Vrabel hanging out with Dianna Russini at the Ambiente hotel in Sedona, Arizona, on March 28. One photo showed the New England Patriots head coach holding hands with the popular NFL insider at The Athletic. Another showed them hanging out at a pool, too.

Soon after the photos went viral, Vrabel said it was nothing more than “a completely innocent interaction.” In her statement, Russini said the pictures “don’t represent the group of six people who were hanging out during the day.”

As you would expect, fans are making a big deal of the interaction because Vrabel and Russini are both married. Some fans think that this interaction could explain one of the NFL’s most popular offseason rumors: AJ Brown going to the Patriots.

Last month, Dianna Russini reported that the Patriots and Los Angeles Rams “held serious conversations” with the Philadelphia Eagles about a blockbuster trade for Brown. And social media hasn’t forgotten.

“No wonder she was pushing the AJ Brown to the Pats so hard the last few months,” a fan said.

“Vrabel was really tryna make her push that AJ agenda,” a user commented.

“I understand why she keeps pushing AJ Brown rumors now…,” stated a fan.

“That’s an interesting strategy to get scoops that you never see out of Schefter,” another said.

“So that’s why she’s been pushing the AJ out of Philly narrative so hard…I get it now,” a user commented.

“AJ Brown to the Patriots you say? The “reporter” incessantly pushing the rumor for weeks on end is caught with the Pats HC?…” a fan added.

For now, AJ Brown is still with the Eagles.

The Patriots released their top wide receiver of the 2025 season, Stefon Diggs, in a cap-saving move. To replace Diggs, they signed former Green Bay Packers standout Romeo Doubs to a four-year, $68 million deal.

But Doubs has never hit the 1,000-yard mark. And for a team in win-now mode like the Patriots, it’s imperative to load up on playmaking pass-catchers. Drake Maye had a dazzling MVP-caliber season, but Doubs can’t be his only reliable receiver.

If the Eagles are keen on trading Brown, the Patriots should be ultra-aggressive in their pursuit. When he’s at the top of his game, Brown is arguably a top-five wide receiver in the league. He could definitely be the final piece needed to get them over the top.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
