Cunningham: Bears Should Get Picks for Falcons GM Hire

Despite Ian Cunningham's belief that the Bears should receive two third-round picks under the NFL's Rooney Rule, the league has determined Chicago won't get compensation because Falcons president of football Matt Ryan is considered the top football executive in Atlanta.

"I haven't had much time to really dive into the wording of it," Cunningham said. "It was always my interpretation that if a general manager gets hired, that team would receive two third-round picks." Bears GM Ryan Poles called it "a little odd" that the Chiefs received picks when he was hired in Chicago.
