Roughly two dozen NFL head coaches are potential "suspects" in the case of the Dianna Russini traffic stop.
The New York Times reported on the fall of the former NFL insider earlier this week. Russini, who was being paid nearly $1 million per year at The Athletic, resigned from her position, as more and more photos and videos surfaced of her non-professional relationship with Mike Vrabel.
Included in the New York Times story was a tidbit about a traffic stop, in which Russini managed to get out of a ticket by making a phone call to an NFL head coach.

Russini, who had been pulled over for texting and driving with her two children in the car, told the police officer that she was trying to break news about Sean McDermott's firing from Buffalo.
The police officer told Russini that he wasn't a fan of the Bills, but rather another NFL team.
“Do you want to talk to the coach? You should talk to the coach,” before FaceTiming the NFL coach.
“You should let her go, she’s a good citizen,” the unnamed NFL head coach said.
Russini was not ticketed.
