So if Arizona hires him as GM I wonder how that affects trading down. He obviously is in on what the Bears are planning to do with the first pick.

What are they going to do? Trade down first?

I think everyone is in on what the Bears *want* to do with their first pick.

Nobody (including the bears) know what exactly will transpire...that depends on what *other* teams want to do.

So I don't think it matters what Ian knows. All Bears have to do is sit back and look pretty, other teams will drive the price up.

He's interviewed for 2 not ideal situations IMO. Arizona, he's saddled with Kylers horrid contract. TN, he's forced to use the existing HC, although he's a damn good HC imo. Also cutting Tannehill could save that team $18m. It'll be interesting to see what they do with him. I would steer clear of AZ.

The Bears hired him before the draft last year and Philly was pissed.

They lobbied the NFL to make a rule that these hires would only be official after the draft. The NFL agreed.

Cunningham is going nowhere before the draft because of his own hiring last year. At least that's how I understand things based on discussion elsewhere I've read.

Did he leave Philly for a promotion with the Bears? I feel like if he went from being assistant GM to the GM at a franchise there's no way you can justify forcing him to stay until after the draft.

Uh these places need GM's. They're interviewing for GM's. They're not going to go through the draft with no GM.
