LAKE FOREST, Illinois (AP) — The Chicago Bears promoted longtime
scout and front office executive Jeff King to assistant general
manager under Ryan Poles on Thursday.
King's promotion comes after Ian Cunningham left late last month
to become Atlanta's general manager. The Bears hired King in
2015 as a scouting intern and he worked his way up to senior
director of player personnel last season. A tight end, King
played in the NFL from 2006 to 2012 for Carolina and Arizona. He
caught 156 passes for 1,323 and 12 touchdowns.
Chicago went 11-6 and won its first NFC North title since 2018
after finishing last the previous season. The Bears advanced in
the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, rallying to beat
Green Bay in a wild-card thriller before losing to the Los
Angeles Rams in overtime in the divisional round.
