FentayeJones Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Falcons parting ways with Lionel VitalPosted by Mike Florio on January 17, 2016, 5:27 PM ESTIn 2008, Lionel Vital was one of the first hires made by Falcons G.M. Thomas Dimitroff. Eight years later, Vital is the first major change the team has made in the wake of a recent indication from owner Arthur Blank that adjustments are coming.Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Falcons have parted ways with Vital, who elevated from national scout to director of player personnel. Along the way, he was interviewed for the G.M. job in Tampa.Vital had been an important part of the organization, with a keen eye for talent and a longstanding relationship with Dimitroff.Vital has 25 years of experience in scouting and player personnel, working for teams like the Ravens, Patriots, Jets, and Browns. A running back as a player, he was a seventh-round pick of Washington in 1985.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/17/falcons-parting-ways-with-lionel-vital/ Edited January 17, 2016 by FentayeJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRUNKuno Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I feel like this already happened, or was known to be imminent after Dimitroff stayed.Somebody had to get fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown bomber Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 i wonder who they will bring in?D-led asked last week will we upgrade or just re-shuffle. I hope we bring in new eyes and a different mindset. Like I said last year when we re-shuffle the FO, it's like trying to say u have new furniture, but all you did was rearranged the old furniture.
