Learn at the foot of the best two of the best GM’s in football history. Ozzie Newsome and Howie Roseman. Should be a GM in the next cycle.
What is our comp-pick when he gets poached?
I was thinking he’d get poached this year, but glad to have him around for this draft
Well earned. Glad we will have him for one more scouting season before he invariably accepts a GM position.
Him and Poles seem to really know what they want to do and how to do it. Outside of a few questionable decisions (i.e. Claypoo) I’ve loved what they’ve done
He’s such a valuable piece to the organization. Whether he stays or goes it’s a win win. But I think he’s more valuable to us than two 3rd round picks.
Let’s fucking gooo
What GM role would likely be available when this extension is up?
Great news. It’s nice to hear that staff want to actually work for the Bears.
I see a scenario where if this year goes well, Poles is promoted to VP of Football Operations and Cunningham becomes GM.
