Now the Falcons general manager search is really ramping up. On Wednesday, we learned that the Falcons put in for a flurry of interview requests with Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham, Texans assistant GM James Liipfert, and 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams. They join Steelers assistant GM Andy Weidl, who the team is already interviewing, as candidates for Atlanta’s opening. There’s a good group here. All of them have college scouting backgrounds to some degree, and all of them come from good organizations; Cunningham spent time with the Ravens and Eagles before the Bears, Liipfert was with the Patriots before the Texans, Williams has been a 49er for a long time, and Weidl also spent time with the Eagles before the Steelers. Williams is the outlier in terms of title, but the more varied set of responsibilities that title implies might interest a Falcons team with an inexperienced president of football in Matt Ryan. I would probably lean toward Cunningham or Weidl, but I would also say there’s nobody on this list I’d be unhappy with at this point. Cunningham should still be considered the favorite if he’s allowed to interview for the gig, given that he’d come highly recommended from Ryan’s friend and Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles and that he’s been instrumental in the Bears achieving the kind of stunning short-term turnaround the Falcons want for themselves. If all goes well, we should know who the new GM is within a week or so.

While Kevin Stefanski has been hired and is busy building his staff, the Falcons general manager search has been a much quieter affair. We’ve all been waiting to see when they’ll interview candidates like Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham, who interviewed for the president of football job that was inevitably going to Matt Ryan, but have not gotten much news. Until last night, that is, when we learned they’ll interview Steelers assistant general manager Andy Weidl. Steelers assistant general manager Andy Weidl will interview for the open general manager position with the Atlanta Falcons, according to sources. Weidl has been with the Steelers since May of 2022 and is a well-respected personnel evaluator around league circles. pic.twitter.com/8uTSB5Lygn— Mark Kaboly (@MarkKaboly) January 21, 2026 I’ve heard good things about Weidl as an evaluator of talent, but the most positive sign for Falcons fans might be the way Steelers fans reacted to this news, which was with something approaching doom. Weidl’s background is in the draft, where the Falcons could always stand to be better, and he’s been credited by Pittsburgh fans and observers for a recent string of strong classes for the Steelers. Prior to Pittsburgh, he worked with the Eagles, Ravens, and Saints, and was credited with helping to revive a Philadelphia team that returned to relevance in a major way in the mid-to-late 2010s. He’s a strong candidate, and probably the most experienced one the Falcons will interview for this job. Atlanta has vowed to get general manager and head coach on board at the same time, but between the playoffs and the fact that Matt Ryan’s position means any general manager will be viewed in the eyes of the league as an assistant GM and can be blocked for lateral moves, this process has gone a little more slowly than anticipated. We’ll see who’s up next for interviews, but I’d put Weidl on the shortlist of candidates to get the job alongside Cunningham and the 49ers’ Josh Williams.
