The Atlanta Falcons have reportedly narrowed their search for the team’s next general manager to two or three candidates. After a week of interviews, it appears that Rams director of college scouting Brad Holmes and Saints vice president/assistant GM Terry Fontenot are the most likely to land the job.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Falcons held a second interview with Holmes on Saturday. Pelissero also mentioned former Texans GM Rick Smith as a candidate the team is high on.

Holmes has spent nearly two decades with the Rams organization, working his way up to college scouting director in 2013 and helping the team draft a ton of talented players.
