The Atlanta Falcons have made their first big named addition of the 2022 NFL offseason, and it’s at an executive level. Former Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace will join Terry Fontenot’s staff as a senior personnel executive.
Before spending the past seven seasons as the general manager of the Bears, Pace worked with Fontenot in the New Orleans front office for 12 years and has now opted to reunite with the current Falcons general manager in Atlanta.
Pace carved out an impressive career with the Saints, starting as an operations assistant in 2001 and climbing up the ladder in the front office, all the way to the director of player personnel role in 2013.
