Former Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff Reportedly Set to Interview for Lions GM Job

Former general manager will reportedly interview for the Detroit Lions' GM opening next week, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Detroit had a vacancy last month when the team fired Bob Quinn after nearly five years on the job. Head coach Matt Patricia was also fired.

Dimitroff was also fired this season, ending a nearly 13-year run as the Falcons general manager. He was dismissed along with head coach Dan Quinn after Atlanta got off to an 0-5 start.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted that the Lions are also set to interview Rick Smith, who served as the Houston Texans GM from 2006-17.
