Bears general manager Ryan Poles has long expected to lose assistant general manager Ian Cunningham, and that’s becoming closer to a reality.
Cunningham, 39, was in-person for his second interview with the Titans on Wednesday and appears to be a finalist for the job.
He has had interviews before and turned down an offer from the Cardinals to be their general manager a year ago.
Poles hired Cunningham when he joined the Bears in January 2022, and he’s been essential to the personnel department. The two are longtime friends and even lived together their early time with the Bears.
Cunningham has not been part of the Bears’ interviews with candidates for head coach. Poles said he wanted him to have time to prepare for his own job interviews and that he would join the process if it became clear he was coming back to the Bears.
Cunningham, a former offensive lineman out of Virginia, got his start as an assistant and scout with the Ravens. He rose to director of player personnel with the Eagles in 2021 before Poles brought him to the Bears.
The Chicago Bears are facing some changes in their front office as assistant general manager Ian Cunningham has emerged as a finalist for the Tennessee Titans’ general manager position. Cunningham has reportedly impressed the Titans during his first interview and has been invited back for a second interview.
This news comes as a bit of a surprise to Bears fans, as Cunningham has been a key figure in the team’s front office for several years. Known for his keen eye for talent and strong draft strategies, Cunningham has played a crucial role in shaping the Bears’ roster.
While it would be a loss for the Bears to see Cunningham go, it’s also a testament to his skills and expertise that he is being considered for such a prestigious position with another NFL team. Bears fans will be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds and wishing Cunningham the best of luck in his potential new role with the Titans.
