The Falcons have agreed to a multiyear extension with general manager Thomas Dimitroff. Atlanta agreed to a similar extension with coach Mike Smith last month. "This extension of Thomas' contract ensures that he and Coach 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," Falcons owner Arthur M. Blank said in a statement. "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." Dmitroff was named Executive of the Year by the Sporting News after the 2010 season for the second time in the past three years.
