"It didn't take too long for the Chicago Bears to name Ian Cunningham's replacement. Jeff King is the Bears' new assistant general manager. King takes the place of Cunningham, who left for the Atlanta Falcons general GM gig in late January. Elevating King into a new role as the right-hand man for GM Ryan Poles provides some stability and continuity at the top of the front office."
"King, who was an NFL tight end from 2006-12, joined the Bears as a scouting intern in 2015 and has been moving up the organizational charts ever since. He has been a pro scout (2016-19) and has had the titles of assistant director of pro scouting (2019-21) and director of pro scouting (2021-22). Folks around the league seem to respect King, too."
Jeff King was promoted to assistant general manager for the Chicago Bears after Ian Cunningham left for the Atlanta Falcons general manager job. King joined the organization as a scouting intern in 2015 and advanced through roles including pro scout, assistant director of pro scouting, director of pro scouting, and senior director of player personnel. King previously played tight end in the NFL from 2006-12. The promotion supplies stability and continuity for GM Ryan Poles, recognizes long-term internal development, and reflects league-wide respect and prior interviews for other GM openings.
