Everyone is still left in so much confusion over the NFL's ruling that the Chicago Bears are not getting any compensatory picks for the Atlanta Falcons' hiring of former Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham as their new general manager.
As part of the Rooney Rule, if a minority candidate gets hired and promoted to be a leading football operations role, the team that candidate left gets two third-round compensatory picks in the next draft. The league has stated that, since Matt Ryan is the president of football operations for the Falcons, considered the top football operations role, the Bears do not receive any picks.
