Falcons signed coach Mike Smith and GM Thomas Dimitroff to one-year contract extensions.
The extensions ensure that neither man has "lame duck" status in 2014, as they're now signed through 2015. It's a vote of confidence for a regime that has gone 60-36 and been to the playoffs four times since Smith took over in 2008. Prior to his arrival, the Falcons had never even posted back-to-back winning seasons. Getting Julio Jones back healthy and making improvements defensively will go a long way toward Smith and Dimitroff getting longer extensions at this time next year.
