NBC Chicago: Bears Give Timing Update on Potential Move to Arlington Heights.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/chicago-football/bears-give-timing-update-on-potential-move-to-arlington-heights/3048331/

While the Bears anticipate closing this quarter, the team made it clear there’s a lot of work left to be done, including getting property tax certainty and locking down infrastructure funding.

“Those are the heavy lifts,” Ted Phillips said.

“You need to plan before you start digging,” Warren said. “I think what makes U.S. Bank Stadium so special, we spent almost a year planning, and planning is critical. That’s what I appreciate about the McCaskeys, they support the planning process.  I think that will be really critical from that standpoint and I know we’re focused on Arlington Park and that stadium development project, I looked forward to leaning in to the stadium development project. But I think the biggest thing we can do is to make sure we’re methodical and detailed and we take the time to plan it properly.”

[Who is going to tell Kev that the Bear has had the option to purchase the property, and therefore plan, for appx. 13 months already?]

This leads to the No. 1 question: when will the new home of the Chicago Bears be open and ready to host football games, concerts and more?

“I’ll be able to answer that question to you in about six months when I’m able to sit down and really review things,” Warren said. “It wouldn’t be proper for me to say it. I’ve got to really sit down and get the information downloaded. I’ll be able to answer that (in six months). I’d be guessing right now.”

[Basically, the Bear will have to pay to extend the option or exercise the option and hope he can take care of the politics by the end of the current legislative session? Does he know when that session ends? I see a May end date for the House on the website. https://www.ilga.gov/house/schedules/default.asp]

This is going to be really interesting....

I feel like this is the part where Temp0 posts something like: "McCaskeys! (insert something about eating)"

And Tempo, I am not saying it cannot happen. Of course it can. What I am saying is there are very high obstacles; obstacles that were not present in other stadium dealings. The White Sox had Tampa leverage and it took Big Jim twisting arms and moving the clock back in the legislature to beat a midnight deadline. No one took the Ricketts floating moving the Cub very seriously and Rosemont offered them free land, etc. to move out there. Now, we have higher borrowing rates, a recession, a state government that is not in the team owner's back pocket, and a team whose owners are viewed as "meh."

Warren is going to earn his pay here.

Selling a new stadium to house a 3-14 team shouldn't be much of a problem.
It took a little over 4 years after funding was approved to open the doors to U.S. Bank.

Top 15 draftees at each position according to Dane Brugler of The Athletic:

Witherspoon is listed at 3 for CBs.

The QB list is dumb. Young should be at least 3rd, behind Stroud and Levis. Stetson Bennett at 11th is a sign of someone who watched only the playoff games and didn't go beyond the major games and the buzz during the season.

Of course, if the rankings are based on the stupidity of NFL GMs and how they make their decisions, then Young is correct and Bennett should be higher.

Young is the consensus top QB at this point, at least.

11 QBs is a lot. I’m sure there are years in which 11 aren’t even drafted.

As usual, poor take quality.

Only 9 quarterbacks were drafted last year, so 11th doesn't sound out of line.

The number of QBs taken in a draft has ZILCH to do with the rankings, which are clearly stated to be 15 per position. Even undrafted QBs can be signed. You do understand free agency, right? Oh, wait, you don't, based on previous posts.

As usual, poor comprehension across the board. Extend this response to your cockpuppet above.

Lol I'm sure that all made sense in your mediocre brain when you were typing it.

You do realize draft rankings are somewhat subjective, right? Especially when you get to the point of players that might not even get drafted.

It makes sense that someone who can’t grasp the subtleties of win probability also can’t grasp the concept of prospect rankings.

All rankings are subjective. That doesn't mean they always make sense.

You keep getting tripped up on the Undrafted thing. Is that a big hot take on the Score? But again, an undrafted QB can be signed as a free agent. When the rankings state quite clearly 15 per position, it's silly to obsess about where the drafting cutoff is. If you want to debate whether The Athletic should have ranked 15 QBs, that would be a valid point. But when 15 are ranked, it's valid to assess those, regardless of where you think the cutoff should be.
