I am maybe irrationally angry at the Bears handling of this.

We have 2 black guys as executives that have the opportunity to absolutely turn the screws on the league. There were 10 HC positions hired this offseason, 0 went to minority HCs. Nor were any of the front office “head football positions” filled by minority candidates, I believe. Instead, you had Ryan Poles out there today saying it’s weird they give compensation for hiring minority candidates? WTF man? Even if you believe that, don’t fucking say that. Kevin Warren, instead of going on self-promoting tours, how about you get in front of a camera and try and get us 2 3rd round picks? And wasn’t Ryan Poles the one counseling Matt Ryan through this process? Couldn’t have asked Matt to throw him a bone and not have him labeled as the chief football decision maker? Or have Cunningham hired before they hired the coach so Cunningham could hire a coach? Previous Message no idea if NFL will agree http://x.com/courtneyrcronin/status/2026385043879321750?s=46

Doesn't sound like DJ will be around next year.

Ryan Poles on DJ Moore: “We want him here. We thinking highly of him … But this is the time now where we have to look at all the scenarios that will allow us to put the best team out there…he’s a guy we want here but we have to look at all the scenarios.” Previous Message no idea if NFL will agree http://x.com/courtneyrcronin/status/2026385043879321750?s=46

To be clear, this is not any kind of actual agreement and the Falcons have no role in this.

It’s just Cunningham saying that he agrees that the Bears should get picks. But the NFL says that aren’t going to, at least as of now.

It’s so weird, since the NFL gives out comp picks like candy. There was 35 given out last year…

If the Falcons want to send us some picks I don't see why the NFL would care.

Seems like they are indeed righting a wrong.* Previous Message no idea if NFL will agree http://x.com/courtneyrcronin/status/2026385043879321750?s=46 You cannot lose games in the NFL and still win.
