Vrabel and Russini, both married to other people, were spotted at an adult’s only resort in Arizona in early March.
Since then, more photos and rumors surrounding the two have come out. The barrage of leaks has been constant, and prompting Vrabel to take a leave of absence from the team on the final day of the NFL Draft. And yet, that aforementioned quarterback does not see the Vrabel situation impacting the Patriots in a negative fashion.
“No, I don’t,” Maye told the Associated Press recently. “I mean, he’s our head coach. I think he’s done a great job of talking to us and talking us through it.
I’m just looking forward to getting back to work and getting ready. ” Instead, Maye believes that the entire situation “[wi]ll take care of itself. ” Vrabel, like Russini, initially claimed the photos were taken out of context.
