Joe Brady to Atlanta likely?

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Saints VP and Assistant GM Terry Fontenot is the favorite to become Atlanta's GM.

The Falcons first interviewed Fontenot in mid-December and clearly haven't looked back. Although a deal can't officially be finalized until New Orleans' postseason run comes to an end, Fontenot is expected to put pen to paper the instant he's allowed to. Panthers OC Joe Brady is also reportedly Fontenot's first choice as head coach.

Also, who on our staff will Joe Brady bring with him to ATL? 
 

Crazy to think our team has lost so much on offense considering CMC was out all year and Teddy Two Yards was checking down like his shoes were untied. The NFL truly is a mysterious thing...

Arthur Smith has been interviewed twice and different SPECULATION is that Fontenot has a deal in principal and is the one pitching him. So who knows.

Though could easily be interpreted as due diligence on a backup plan as they wait on Fontenot to be finalized.

Funny thing, some of the guys who already took college jobs have an out in their contract that allows them to leave for a pro position.

As far as guys that are still here, DB coach Jason Simmons was getting looks as a DC.

    • Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.   
    • Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
