They went in for the hug and they got a handshake.

And I just don't know what else you can take out of that because this is exactly what the Bears maybe wanted originally.

They wanted to have an option.

They have that option now.

There's no doubt about it.

Indiana made it happen.

They got it done.

They can feel very satisfied with the offer.

It's commensurate.

It is similar to...

why the Chiefs left Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City and they plan to build across the state line in Kansas.

It's very similar in terms of the incentives and enticements.

It's a deal that the Bears will find very difficult to refuse.

But as I said early, and I do believe this, if it were only about the best business deal, the Bears would have been celebrating as well last night.

I don't sense that they did.

I think it's deeper than that.

I think legacy matters.

And in the end, the Bears will get a deal when the Illinois session reconvenes.

And it may take more time, but I would be surprised, this is just me speaking personally, if they were to get any further with Indiana before they move forward with Illinois.

That's true.
