Bears Should Get Picks for Cunningham: Falcons GM

According to Cunningham, the Bears should receive two third-round picks based on his understanding of the Rooney Rule, which provides compensation for teams that develop minority executives who become GMs elsewhere. "I would think that they would get two third-round picks," Cunningham said.

The Bears are not expected to receive those picks, however, because Falcons president of football Matt Ryan is considered the top football executive in Atlanta. Bears GM Ryan Poles called the situation "a little odd" and described the rule as "strange."
