NFC Notes: Falcons, Panthers, Saints

Falcons

The Falcons and Director of Pro Personnel Steve Sabo decided to part ways, with Sabo releasing a statement after his 12 seasons with the team.

“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,” Sabo said, via AtlantaFalcons.com. “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.”

Panthers

Broadcaster Solomon Wilcots commented on the Panthers quarterback situation during a recent interview.

“Youโ€™ve gotta survey the landscape and say, where are the quarterbacks? And there may be one on somebodyโ€™s team already, which is what they tried to do,โ€ Wilcots said, via Joe Person of The Athletic. โ€œI think they did it with patches. They knew Teddy Bridgewater was a short-term stop. They didnโ€™t look at Teddy like he was the future. I donโ€™t even think they looked at Sam Darnold like he was the future. They said, weโ€™ve got two years with Sam Darnold. โ€ฆI think part of the problem is not who theyโ€™re bringing in. The problem is they donโ€™t have the apparatus for growth and development at that position in-house.โ€
