What compensation are the Bears seeking for Ian Cunningham's departure?
This hour is brought to you by Chicago Golf Show.
Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Emory Hunt, that is good stuff. He's the analyst for CBS Sports HQ. He was at the HBCU Legacy Bowl this weekend. He is the owner of Football Game Plan. Thanks for coming on, Emory.
You know what's fascinating about that is the fact that, you know, when you look at this thing holistically, and I'm not a fan of any team, I'm just a fan of being right.
Okay, look, you don't trust me, you can trust one thing.
love to be right is there going to be something at 25 that can help them immediately and is that more likely to happen at edge or left tackle if so glad you asked that question because i've been compiling a list of things in life that were a mistake number one speakerphone speakerphone number one and number two might be airports but why airports i know you don't i i'm usually very good with names but i'll be damned if i haven't forgotten yours you stole my cab
How does Ryan Poles view the impact of Ian Cunningham's promotion?
I've never stole anything in my life. I hailed a cab on Park Avenue this afternoon, and before I could get in it, you stole it. You're the guy who tried to get my cab. I knew I knew you. Yeah. I just flew back from the Legacy Bowl, like you mentioned. It was 10 a.m. in the morning in New Orleans Airport. There were three young ladies sitting there eating a big plate of nachos. Like, how do you even have the taste for that at 10 in the morning? Well, Chris, since you're royalty now, I made your favorites. Dinner for breakfast? Third and fighting hard for third might be... mock drafts have you done a mock draft yet and where would you who do you have going to the bears at 25 if you have i only do two a year okay dot com one is a small school only mock draft small schools are schools that are fcs d2 d3 because what they've now tried to do nowadays that made me add to my list two things that were a mistake
They're adding now, oh, this guy goes to a small school. Oh, yeah, what school? And you think it's Illinois State. You think it's Southern Illinois. Oh, no, he went to Iowa State.
Let me get out of my face.
What are the Bears' draft strategies for the upcoming draft?
Emory Hunt, philosopher and football analyst, and spot on on a lot of both. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. Happy combine. Is that a thing? I think so. Okay. You know, you say it out loud. It doesn't always sound how you want it to. And what's that, Ray Diaz?
We have this fresh Ryan Poles audio ready to go. Just wanted to let you know in your ear there. No expiration date.
You know what? This is what we like to do on Rahimi Harris and Brody. We are going to be getting news all day here on The Combine, real time on 104.3 The Score. We also expect to hear from Ben Johnson in just a little bit. Thanks to our producer Sean Sears and Tyler Buterbaugh for also helping us out with this. In addition to Ray Diaz. So without further ado, we're going to pause when we want to react to something, but we will play. Ryan pulls his comments to the media here from the combine this morning.
How does Ryan Poles assess the current state of the Bears' roster?
Questions.
Yeah, that's a great question. I think, um, I kind of put that whole thing into two buckets. One, I'm really proud that Ian has the opportunity to be a general manager, something we've talked about for a long time before we were even employed by the Bears. It was our vision to climb through the ranks, get a seat, the GM seat, and then help the other one get to their position as well. So I'm really happy for him. How we do that and why we do that has nothing to do with compensation whatsoever. I want to make that very clear. On the other side, there's a set of rules that were put in place that I think can be applied to this situation. So we've communicated through the right channels, so we'll see what happens as we move forward.
I'm not sure. We'll just wait for a response. No one personally called me from the league.
He and Mr. Sears said that he thinks you should, and you think you should. So the Bears think you should, the Falcons think you should.
It seems like it. Yeah, so it'll be up to the league and how they see it.
So you formally have appealed it to the league?
