50 comments

1. I like that he does not shy away from being transparent. Especially the RB question. There will be additions to that room. Terry might have said some BS when we all know you need another RB.

2. Great Job Ian!!!

3. Where is the Nick Chubb signing?

4. She Ian Cooking Show

5. This is a very intelligent and capable GM. 🎉

6. Glad we're tanking for a year to get the books and draft picks right! Gotta clean up the mess Terry and Raheem made.
   Good job so far Ian, especially all these one year deals. Let's trade down down down in the draft next!

7. Love what ian is doing! Some of the moves ive seen ive been blown away. Keep up the good work ian

8. #InIanWeTrust

9. Playing the long game… He will slowly win over fanbase if he hasn’t already won you over. Seems like a calculated and thorough GM, like what I’m seeing and hearing so far

10. Great job sir!

11. Matt and Ian making for a deadly combo

12. Great start. I despise Tua but Hooper, Ojulari, Ebukam, Dotson were all great signings.

13. These journalist b asking some crazy questions

14. Like what Ian has done so far but he really needs to extend Drake

15. I love what lan Cunningham is doing keep up the good work our team is going to be dangerous Atlanta falcons rise up until the very end

16. Anyone else glad that D. Orlando Ledbetter has left the building!!!!

17. The only players that should have their job 100% secured. Bijan, the oline, drake London, Jessie Bates, AJ Terrel, Watts, deablo, walker and Pearce if he plays. These are the only jobs that are 100% not going to compete for. These are your best players on your roster

18. Night and day difference than Terry. We will actually have professional depth instead of practice squad players everywhere

19. Ian Cunningham was the perfect GM hire for the Falcons. Rise Up!

20. He looks tired as hell and that's how I know he's working his ass off. Let's go Ian!

21. I like the price we got TUA FOR
    High risk LOW REWARD

    KEEP HIM UP RIGHT

    BULID AROUND HIM BETTER
    NEED MORE THAN BIJAN AND DRAKE

    CALL THE RIGHT PLAYS

    DO THE SAME FOR PENIX

    i like the HOOPER signing
    GOOD RE

    KEEP BULIDING THAT D

    U WIN IN THE TRENCHES

22. very honest and upfront answers from Ian.. feels like a breath of fresh air.. Wishing him and this regime the most success

23. He said the magic word, “alignment”

24. Pitts is definitely being shopped… the kitchen is yours chef.

25. This team that matt brought together is legit. I love this. Theyre putting their heads together. We needed this man. Hometown kid

26. Good work Ian! Great to have you man

27. TRASH

28. Ian was a great pickup! I was skeptical but man he’s pulled of some signings 🔥

29. Ian we can tell players trust and respect you by the signings and terms you're making..We're with you 100% and realize things take time.

30. Would’ve liked to hear from Ian whether he strategically chooses players not to resign and players to sign with an eye on compensatory picks. Kaden Elliss, Allgeier, Ebitkete and Onyamata all signed deals that weren’t necessarily prohibitive. But all the incoming players (K/P excluded) signed small 1 year contracts. That means the Falcons should receive 2 5th round picks and 2 6th round picks in 2027 based on the current situation. If some of these signings perform well then they could leave in free agency and the Falcons would again gain picks (if they don’t go crazy in free agency). Interesting to get his explanation on philosophy.

31. I like the direction we're going in.

32. Gr8 value on a limited budget!!!

33. Ian seems like a great guy.

34. Zero panic moves. You love to see it.

35. WILL TUA GET A HANDICAPPED PARKING SPOT?

36. "12 players" is wild. I've never seen an off-season this active with this cap limit.

37. Ok falcons nation we got a good GM our cap open space open up next year we need to draft another wr and another RB and CB penix come back we going be good

38. This GM is on another level than the previous one.

39. This guy right here will take us to the promise land, you can tell he has a throughly thought out process and he’s executing it perfectly in only his 2nd month here.

40. I swear these questions man….

41. LOVE every move except the QB position

42. #48 draft a big DT/NT!!! damnit

43. I think one think that a lot of people are underestimating/missing is the fact that most or all of the players have been to the playoffs recently from Olimidae Hooper Williams Harris and Dotson this is one unsung fact that matters!

44. The Hype Train has started ! 😅😅😅 2026 🤞🤞🛒🛒

45. I'm of afraid of the possibility of Tua balling out and we sign him to a long term deal and he gets concussed and decides to retire. We'll be back to square negative one. No QB and on the hook for a bunch of dead money. If Tua "wins" the job, I hope we just let him walk and draft a QB in '27.

    The competition between him and Penix will be good for the both of them though.

46. keep up the good work, ian

47. Bijan Robinson is definitely a starter

48. I’ve been a diehard falcons fan for 25 years now, we’ve had some great years but it’s been very hard being a falcons fan since 2016. As soon as I felt like the franchise was falling apart… we go out and make some amazing moves. It all starts with CHARACTER, and I love the hiring of Cunningham, Ryan, and Stefanski. For once I feel like we have all the right pieces and I genuinely have faith again as a Falcons fan! Thank you

49. You didn't do anything no good pick ups

50. Let good players walk Kaden eliss was our best linebacker why didn't you keep him though you knew how to tell good talent. Seems like Terry all over again we're gonna loose again next year I would have rather kept kirk and got rid of penix and definitely not picking up tua
