NFL Insider Dianna Russini Was Making a Shocking $800K Per Year and Jemele Hill Says It Makes Sense



In the article titled "Dianna Russini Was an N.F.L. ‘Insider.’ Was She Also Out of Bounds?" the New York Times goes behind the scenes on one of their own, well a former own. Russini was a reporter for The Athletic, which is the sports platform and the essentially the sports section for the New York Times (they haven't had a separate sports section since 2023). 


The subheading for the headline is: Ms. Russini’s closeness to a coach, Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots, led to her breakup with The Athletic and its parent company, The New York Times Company.


The New York Times reported in the article that Dianna Russini was making $800K a year as the senior NFL insider for The Athletic. Jemele Hill shares her own salary history and why paying Russini that amount of money per year is on par with industry standards.
