Whatever the deal is they're offering to the Eagles, I send to AZ for MHJ, maybe I sweeten it a tiny bit.

Why would AZ trade MHJ? He?s in his early 20s and has a ton of upside.

I actually don't even want MHJ either. Yes he has upside and has dealt with some injuries but he also has had games with terrible drops and at times he's a non-factor and I don't think it's just poor QB play. If I were going to send a package for a young WR it'd be someone like BTJ of the Jaguars or Chris Olave of the Saints who is still just 25 years old.

Guess they weren?t innocent photos after all.  ???

Counseling during the draft is kind of stupid. I?m sure it is mostly for PR purposes anyway. And if even if it is legitimate, I?d imagine they could start the day after the draft. It?s not like this imminent thing

The NY Post just published photos of Vrabel and Russini kissing in a NY bar 6 years ago when he was the Titans coach. 

The Post reached out to Vrabel for comment hours before he said he was going to counseling.

Looks like a simple misunderstanding to me.

Yes, it's completely for PR purposes, and perhaps a bit to smooth things over with Mrs. Vrabel and/or to look better in any divorce proceedings.  I'm pretty sure he could have found a counselor that would have started Monday.

Someone knows what they're doing with timing of these releases. Draft week.  Not good.

So this was going on even when he was coach of the Titans. Crazy

I didn't think of the possibility but now I'd say there's a non-zero chance he's NOT coaching the Patriots next season, whether it's being let go or being given a year off for counseling and such. I say "non-zero", I still think it's high odds he coaches but I wouldn't rule out other possibilities after today's leaks

I?d be glad to see him on Monday.  The 6 year old pic is surprising.  If that?s real (NY Post) there?s probably a lot more to the story.

I can't see the Pats letting him go.  They've excused some pretty heinous behavior from their players, and their owner has been known to engage in extra-marital relations.

No I don't either. I'm 99% certain he's back. Not 100%, but 99%.

It'll be very interesting to see what unfolds though both in Vrabel's personal life and maybe even locker room. I mean I'm sure it'll fizzle away over the summer but the next month will be dicey

Speculation that this is the Titans leaking stuff to the media. Would make some sense if they had a PI following him. Earlier speculation had been Russini's husband but these latest photos took place in March 2020 and she didn't get married until September 2020.  Doubtful he would've had a PI on her then and still gone thru with the marriage. 

I don't think this is the end of it either.  I think more stuff is gonna drop.

Russini's son who was born in 2021 is named Michael.  The internet loves that tidbit.
