Eye On Illinois: Bears need to bluff much harder to be borderline believable

Aug 15, 2026 · 3m

Summary

Scott Holland argues the Bears are bluffing about moving to Indiana, citing their retention of Arlington Heights land and ongoing talks with Illinois officials. Despite public commitments to Hammond, the team’s actions suggest a preference for staying in Chicago’s suburbs. This strategy aims to pressure the state for incentives while keeping options open.
