INDIANAPOLIS -- Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff made a rather revealing stumble when talking about impending free-agent running back Tevin Coleman.
"Tevin's going to do well, wherever he is," Dimitroff told the media gathered Wednesday at the NFL scouting combine.
Dimitroff caught himself, stuttering for a moment before cleaning up his "wherever" reference.
"Whether he is with us or whether he goes somewhere else," Dimitroff said, leaving open the slightest possibility of Coleman's return.
Dimitroff, like Falcons coach Dan Quinn, typically takes an optimistic approach in such situations. But Dimitroff is also a realist when it comes to financial matters.
