The Atlanta Falcons are hiring Ian Cunningham as their new general manager, the team announced Thursday.
Cunningham has served as the Chicago Bears’ assistant GM for the last four years. He was previously the assistant director of player personnel for the Philadelphia Eagles before joining the Bears.
“It was evident through our rigorous interview process Ian was the right choice for our general manager position,” Falcons president of football Matt Ryan said in a statement. “His vision for our team and organization aligned exactly with the type of leader we were seeking to help take the Falcons to the next level.”
