The Facts: The team announced Wednesday it signed GM Thomas Dimitroff and HC Dan Quinn to three-year contract extensions. The deals will keep the duo in Atlanta through the 2022 season. Each had two seasons remaining on their contracts.

Diehards Line:Dimitroff joined the Falcons in 2008 after six seasons with the Patriots. The GM got off to a hot start, winning the Executive of the Year award from Sporting News in 2008 and 2010. Atlanta thrived early in Dimitroff's tenure, compiling five winning seasons from 2008-2012, including three straight playoff berths. The Falcons struggled for a blip during the middle of Dimitroff's run, putting his future in question. Atlanta, however, righted the ship under his leadership, including a Super Bowl appearance in 2016. Quinn took over as head coach in Atlanta in 2015. In his first three seasons, the Falcons have compiled a 29-19 regular season record, with two playoff appearances, including the Super Bowl loss in 2016. Dimitroff's most memorable move since taking over as the Falcons' GM was the blockbuster draft-day trade to acquire All-Pro receiver Julio Jones in 2011. With the Falcons taking care of Quinn and Dimitroff's contracts, the next bit of business is handling Jones' future with the franchise. The receiver is not expected to report when training camp opens on Thursday as he seeks his own new deal.
