It didn’t take former Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace too long to land on his feet.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Atlanta Falcons have hired Pace as a senior personnel executive. For his faults, Pace has been known for his ability to identify late-round talent in the NFL draft.
During Pace’s seven-year tenure as Chicago’s GM, the Bears went 48-67 and failed to win a playoff game in two appearances. While he was responsible for adding some great talent to the roster — Khalil Mack, Roquan Smith, David Montgomery and Justin Fields among others — his mismanagement of the salary cap, early-round draft selections and the team’s overall struggles spelled his doom.
