After 12 seasons, the Atlanta Falcons and their director of pro personnel, Steve Sabo, have mutually agreed to part ways.
Sabo, who joined the Falcons after a 12-year stint in Cleveland, held several different roles in Atlanta’s scouting and personnel departments, including six years as the team’s director of college scouting.
The Falcons released a statement from Sabo on Monday:
“After 12 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, I am looking to the future as Terry Fontenot and I have mutually decided it’s time for a new opportunity. I’ve been fortunate to fill a variety of roles on both the college and pro sides for the organization, from area scout to director of college scouting to director of player personnel and pro director, and I am grateful for that.
The past 12 seasons have been a great ride with multiple playoff appearances including the run to Super Bowl LI in the 2016 season, among so many other victories and memories. I have truly enjoyed my time in Atlanta and look forward to the future with my family.”
There’s no word yet as to who will replace Sabo as the Falcons director of pro personnel.
