The Bears have hired general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus, which shifts the focus to assembling their respective staffs. - Both Poles and Eberflus are well on their way to doing just that, getting a head start on those teams still without either a GM or head coach. - According to SI’s Albert Breer, Eagles director of player personnel Ian Cunningham will interview with Poles on Friday afternoon/evening. The expectation is Cunningham will be interviewing to be Poles’ right-hand man in the title of assistant GM. - It was first reported by Adam Caplan and Geoff Mosher. - Cunningham has 13 years of NFL experience, getting his start as a player personnel assistant with the Baltimore Ravens in 2008. He also served as an area scout for the Ravens before getting an opportunity as director of college scouting with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017. Cunningham worked his way up to assistant director of players personnel and, most recently as this year, another promotion to director of player personnel. - - Ian Cunningham will travel to Chicago later today, and be there late afternoon/early evening. Expectation is the job he'll interview for is to be Bears GM Ryan Poles' No. 2—with the title likely being assistant GM. - The Eagles DPP is among the NFL's most respected young execs.
