Falcons use 1970s buddy-cop imagery to announce contracts for GM, coach

The Atlanta Falcons are keeping their leadership intact for the long haul.

The team extended the contracts of general manager Thomas Dimitroff and coach Dan Quinn another three seasons, potentially keeping the pair together for a total of five more seasons, through 2022.

The announcement came just days before the team was expected to begin training camp practices without wide receiver Julio Jones as he begins his holdout in search of a new deal.

In three seasons together, Dimitroff and Quinn have guided the Falcons to 29 regular season wins and two playoff appearances, including the epic 28-3 Super Bowl collapse against the New England Patriots to end the 2016 season.
