The Jaguars interviewed Ian Cunningham, who is Bears general manager Ryan Poles’ chief deputy, for their GM opening Friday.
The team is looking for an executive to partner with new head coach Liam Coen. The Jaguars fired GM Trent Baalke during their coaching search and hired Coen two days later.
Were the Jaguars to hire Cunningham, the Bears would receive a compensatory third-round draft pick in two consecutive years as a product of the Rooney Rule, which rewards teams who develop minority candidates and lose them to a head coaching or GM job elsewhere.
