Falcons owner Arthur Blank said the team will retain GM Thomas Dimitroff.
"There is very good alignment between [coach Dan Quinn] and Thomas on the direction we need to go to improve our team," Blank said in a statement, "and I believe maintaining the continuity of that relationship, with [assistant GM] Scott Pioli continuing to assist Thomas, is the right way forward." Blank added there will be a "number of changes" to the personnel department. Dimitroff had many of his duties stripped last season, but he, Quinn and Pioli seem to have a good working relationship. Dimitroff has been with the Falcons since 2008. Jan 8 - 10:22 AM
