Mike Vrabel Spotted Buying His Wife An 'Apology' Present

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was reportedly spotted buying his wife an "apology" present amid his ongoing scandal with NFL insider Dianna Russini.

Several photos of Vrabel and Russini hanging out - and at one point, allegedly kissing - over the years have been leaked by Page Six and TMZ Sports. Russini has resigned from her position at The Athletic, while Vrabel has apologized for his behavior.

"I've had some difficult conversations with people that I care about," Vrabel said at a press conference. "My family, the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive and productive.

"We believe that in order to be successful, you have to make good decisions. That includes me, that starts with me. We never want our actions to negatively affect the team, we never want to be the cause of a distraction."

Vrabel ended up missing Day 3 of the NFL Draft, as he sought treatment.

"I also don't want to take away from the draft," he said. "This is an important time for us, our organization, and the excitement and the joy that those players are going to have that we bring onto our football team, they're starting an amazing journey – one that should be celebrated as we welcome them onto our team."

"I care deeply about this football team… What I can promise you is that my family, this organization, this team, the staff, the coaches, our fans most importantly, will get the best version of me going forward."

Vrabel was spotted at the airport

Vrabel was reportedly spotted buying his wife an "apology" present at the airport.

Page Six reports that Vrabel was spotted at the Salt Lake City International Airport on Saturday. He was spotted buying a sweatsuit, as an apparent gift for his wife, at a store called Hip & Humble.

"We're told Mike looked at the matching set for a moment before yanking the items off the rack and speed-walking to the register to check out," Page Six reported.

"He was dressed down in light jeans, a blue puffer vest and a matching undershirt, accessorizing with a baseball cap, black travel backpack and Nike sneakers."

Vrabel was still wearing his wedding ring, as he attempts to fix his relationship with his family.
