Saints add former Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff as consultant


Thomas Dimitroff spent 13 seasons as the general manager of the Atlanta Falcons.

On Tuesday, the NFC South rival New Orleans Saints announced Dimitroff will serve as a consultant. He is expected to assist executive vice president/general manager Mickey Loomis in all facets of the operation, per Sports Illustrated.

Dimitroff, 59, reportedly has spent time with the Saints through training camp.

He was named the NFL executive of the year in his first year with the Falcons in 2008 and again in 2010. He was fired by the team in 2020 after the team lost its first five games of the season.
