The 40-year-old Russini has been with ESPN since 2015, where she was a contributor, reporter, and host to pro football coverage.

According to the report, Russini was offered a pay raise to stay at ESPN but chose to go to The Athletic, where she will appear on video, podcasts and write stories for the website.

The Athletic, which was bought by the New York Times for $550 million last year, took over the sports coverage of the Times after the newspaper eliminated its entire sports department.
