None — Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff has agreed to a multi-year contract, the organization announced on Wednesday. In the 3 years since Dimitroff joined the franchise, the Falcons have gone 33-15 and earned a trip to the post season twice. Their .688 winning percentage over the last three seasons is tied for third best in the NFL.
In a statement released by the team, Dimitroff said, "First, I would like to thank Mr. Blank for the confidence and support he has shown in me and in Coach Smith over the past three seasons. I look forward to working with Smitty and his coaching staff as we continue our journey of bringing NFL championship-caliber football to Falcons fans and to the city of Atlanta."
Under the leadership of Dimitroff and head coach Mike Smith, the Falcons have drafted key starters in quarterback Matt Ryan, linebacker Curtis Lofton and Sean Weatherspoon and safety Thomas Decoud. They have also added key veteran free agents in Tony Gonzalez, Mike Peterson, Michael Turner and Dunta Robinson.
Said Falcons owner Arthur Blank, "This extension of Thomas' contract ensures that he and Coach (Mike) Smith, whose contract was extended last month, will be able to continue to work together on solidifying the long-term sustainability and success of our football team. Thomas has proven himself to be a highly-skilled and talented general manager of our club, and I look forward to the Falcons reaping the benefits of his work for many years to come."
