Intel: Bears Inching Toward Major Curveball For Ian Cunningham Replacement

The Chicago Bears have a void in their front office. Ian Cunningham was their assistant general manager from 2022 through 2025, serving a vital role alongside GM Ryan Poles. He has now taken a GM job of his own, assuming control of the Atlanta Falcons, his favorite childhood team. While great for Cunningham, it leaves the Bears with some difficult decisions to make regarding their front office. First, they must find somebody to fill the assistant GM role. Second, they have to bring in someone to fill the talent evaluation gap.
