The Chicago Bears won a playoff game for the first time in 15 years this season.
And on Thursday, Chicago lost front office executive Ian Cunningham to an NFC rival.
“The Bears will not receive two third-round compensatory picks for Ian Cunningham leaving, because Matt Ryan is considered the lead football executive in Atlanta,” according to The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov.
And his move from assistant GM to general manager would normally trigger two compensatory picks for the Bears.
Therefore, Chicago will not be awarded compensatory picks for Cunningham’s departure.
