Falcons unlikely to replace Scott Pioli with another assistant general manager
Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty ImagesWe were mildly surprised to see Scott Pioli leave the Falcons a few weeks after the NFL draft. He was not connected to any other team at any point in his time with the Falcons, so why now?
Some guessed the Jets were interested but there’s no reason for Pioli to step down to interview. Did something go wrong? No, per an early report from Jeff Schultz of The Athletic. It seems hard to believe Pioli would step away from a team when he has been helping them find top players every single draft.
Albert Breer of The Monday Morning Quarterback had some additional information on the split and the future of Pioli’s old position.
