The pieces are all in place as the Atlanta Falcons have finally named, now former Chicago Bears assistant general manager, Ian Cunningham as their new general manager, pairing him with president of football, Matt Ryan and new head coach, Kevin Stefanski.

“They assembled their staff, now it’s time to get to work,” CBS NFL analyst and two-time Super Bowl Champion, Bryant McFadden, said on Friday during an interview with 92-9 The Game’s Carl Dukes and Mike Bell to share thoughts on the Falcons’ hiring of Ryan, Stefanski and Cunningham.

“The GM, he comes from a history of being around winning programs, a culture of solidified foundations, and understands what great rosters look like,” McFadden said of the Falcons adding Cunningham and his previous experiences during his time with the Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears. “I love bringing in guys that know about winning,” McFadden added.
