- Sep 25 Josh Kendall (X) The Kendal Daniels (fourth round) and Harold Perkins (picks) and the under-the-radar Nick Muse signing also stand out as early wins for the new Atlanta GM. · Quoting Marcus Whitman: In one summer with the #Falcons, Ian Cunningham has shown a pretty serious departure from the Bears issues in finding improvements on the D-Line. (Where he came from) 1) The Gervon Dexter trade is & always was highway robbery. He's been one of the best IDL in the league so far. 2) Cameron Thomas has been EVERYWHERE now that someone is finally allowing him to play full time. 3) Maason Smith has made an impact and swapping Orhorhoro for him looks like a win of a trade so far. Brandon Dorlus has also been good, but Cunningham inherited him.
