As much as it may sicken Falcons fans to potentially welcome in a key member of the team’s biggest division rival, Fontenot is rightfully getting some credit for helping the Saints build what’s arguably the best roster in the NFC.
Fontenot worked his way up the ladder as a scout for New Orleans in different roles for roughly 14 years, and then became vice president/assistant general manager of pro personnel this year.
Check back for more Falcons interview updates throughout the week.
