I'm not surprised the Falcons swooped him up 
- they're like the NFL's version of a vacuum cleaner, sucking up talent whenever they can get it 
. Cunningham's got skills, no doubt about it. But I feel bad for the Bears, who had him for just two years and now he's gone? Guess that's what happens when you promote from within... or in this case, create an assistant GM spot to make it easier to poach someone 
. Still, congrats to Cunningham on the new gig - he must be rubbing his hands together thinking about all the talent he'll get to acquire 
. The Bears might need to start scouting like crazy now

! I always thought Ian Cunningham was a shoe-in for the GM job in Chicago 
. It's crazy how he turned down Arizona last year and now Atlanta is swooping him up 
.
They just created that assistant GM spot in 2022 and Cunningham has been crushing it since then 
. Did they not see this coming or was it all part of the plan? 
Either way, I'm excited to see how Atlanta does with him at the helm 
.
And who do you think will be Cunningham's first big move in Atlanta? 
- thought he'd stay put for the bears... seems like falcons really wanted him bad 
wonder how this affects the 2025 draft 
i'm also kinda disappointed cuz he was really good at his job and made some awesome moves for the team 
so fingers crossed they land a great GM soon
