The Chiefs recently released Cunningham and has since returned to his home town to play for the Venom.
Cunningham attended and played at Montana State for his college career. However, he accomplished a lot more than just a degree.

Owner Stephanie Tucker stated, "The Venom are very happy to have another NFL prospect on the team and look forward to seeing what Cunningham can do for our kicking game. We recently improved our offensive game with Nate Davis and expect to see the same positive results out of Cunningham."
Venom is happy to have Cunningham and looks forward to assisting him with his career. Come out to the Venom game this Saturday June, 9th and see Cunningham make his Venom debut.
