Why The Chicago Bears’ Silence On The Assitant GM Vacancy Is Getting Notable

Former assistant general manager Ian Cunningham spent four years with the Chicago Bears and accomplished the critical first milestone of a rebuild by making the playoffs. That success finally enabled him to secure his own GM position with the Atlanta Falcons. The Bears always knew it was coming. It was about when, not if. One would think GM Ryan Poles had a succession plan in mind for whenever it did happen. Well, it has now been 12 days, as of writing this, since Cunningham departed. There has been no announcement of a replacement.
