Falcons to Interview Steelers Assistant GM Andy Weidl for General Manager Under Matt Ryan

Kevin Stefanski will have input on the hire, with Matt Ryan retaining final say in Atlanta's revamped reporting line.

Overview

Pittsburgh is allowing Weidl to meet with Atlanta even though the Falcons' GM position is considered secondary under Ryan's authority.
The Falcons recently installed Ryan as president of football operations and hired Stefanski as head coach before advancing to the GM phase.
Stefanski is expected to have a voice in the selection process, according to reporting cited from Josina Anderson.
Ryan has said he will make the hiring decision but does not intend to meddle once the head coach and general manager are in place.
Weidl began with the Steelers in 1999 and worked for the Saints, Ravens, and Eagles before returning to Pittsburgh in 2022, and he has regularly faced Stefanski’s Browns in recent seasons.
