Saints Hire Former Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff as Front Office Consultant

On September 2, 2025, the New Orleans Saints announced the hiring of Thomas Dimitroff, the former general manager of their rivals, the Atlanta Falcons, to serve as a front-office consultant.
Dimitroff, who managed the Falcons from 2008 to 2020 and constructed the team that advanced to Super Bowl LI, pursued general manager opportunities earlier in 2025 with both the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans before joining the Saints.
He takes over the role previously held by Dave Ziegler, who departed the Saints to become assistant general manager with the Tennessee Titans, and will work alongside Saints GM Mickey Loomis to enhance roster planning and player evaluation.
Dimitroff compiled a 113-95 record with Atlanta, earned two NFL Executive of the Year awards, and drafted quarterback Matt Ryan in 2008, reflecting his front-office experience.
The Saints face a major rebuild with no clear starting quarterback and a challenging roster, and Dimitroff's hiring aims to boost long-term strategy and help revive the team.
