"The Falcons' hierarchy has generated interest this offseason, after ownership cleaned house. The team added Matt Ryan and Ian Cunningham to right the ship, with the NFL viewing Ryan's role as enough to deny the Bears two third-round picks for losing a minority exec (Cunningham) to a GM role."
"Spending nine years in Washington - most of which coming under then-president Bruce Allen - Scott climbed to the assistant director of pro scouting role by 2020. The Commanders had shaken up their organizational hierarchy in 2020, dismissing Allen and hiring Ron Rivera to head up operations from his HC post."
"The Eagles elevated Scott to VP of football ops in 2024. This came at a key juncture for career advancement, as the Eagles assembled a strong roster ahead of their Super Bowl LIX rout of the Chiefs."
The Falcons have undergone significant management changes, hiring Matt Ryan and Ian Cunningham to improve operations. The NFL has recognized Ryan's influence, impacting the Bears' draft picks. Chicago promoted Jeff King to replace Cunningham, while the Falcons are set to hire Jeff Scott as assistant GM. Scott previously worked with Cunningham in Philadelphia and has a strong background in NFL operations. His promotion to AGM will place him in a key leadership role within the Falcons' hierarchy, especially with Ryan's new position as president of football operations.
