Atlanta Falcons general manager Cunningham has declared he will not trade away draft picks despite the team's 3-5 record through the first half of the 2026 season. The decision comes as the franchise evaluates its direction at the trade deadline, with Cunningham opting to preserve future assets rather than pursue immediate upgrades for a struggling roster.
The Falcons' front office believes maintaining draft capital provides more long-term flexibility for roster construction. Atlanta sits at 3-5 entering Week 10, prompting speculation about potential sell-off moves, but Cunningham's stance signals a commitment to the current rebuilding timeline.
