"Cunningham has received an interview request from the Falcons for their GM vacancy, Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reports. This marks the first known target for Atlanta as the team looks for a Terry Fontenot replacement. Both Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris were fired immediately after the regular season ended. That move has left the Falcons with a pair notable vacancies in the organization."
"That comes as little surprise given his strong reputation around the league. After turning down Arizona during the previous cycle, Cunningham was a finalist for the Commanders' gig in 2024. He then lined up second interviews with both the Titans and Jaguars last offseason. For now, the former offensive lineman is in place with the Bears as their assistant GM but there is once again a strong chance he could depart in the near future."
Ian Cunningham received an interview request from the Atlanta Falcons for their general manager vacancy. The Falcons fired Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris immediately after the regular season, creating notable organizational vacancies. The team plans to hire a president of football operations—widely expected to be Matt Ryan—before making GM and head-coach hires. Cunningham is considered a strong early candidate and has a strong league reputation. He previously turned down Arizona, was a 2024 Commanders finalist, and had second interviews with the Titans and Jaguars last offseason. Cunningham currently serves as assistant GM with the Bears and has prior scouting and personnel experience.
