Link to storyFormer Chicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham's hiring by the Atlanta Falcons as their new general manager will not result in the National Football league awarding third-round draft selections in two consecutive years to the Bears as compensation, as was the case in several similar situations in recent years.
