Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams is ‘OK’ leaving Chicago
Momentum is building for the Chicago Bears to move to Hammond, Indiana, after Illinois’ lawmakers failed to pass legislation that would aid the team in building at the site at Arlington Heights.
Illinois could call a special session this summer to pass a package to keep the Bears, but the team is moving forward with Indiana after the spring session failed to deliver for the NFL team.
On Thursday, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was asked about the potential move to Indiana. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft said he didn’t care about the location as long as the fans showed up.
“I’m going to play wherever there’s 120 by 53 and ⅓ and it’s marked up with white lines and two end zones,” Williams said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.
“I’m OK with whatever. Whatever decision they make is whatever decision they make. I just want some green and my teammates and coaches and another team out there and fans.”

The site at Hammond would be closer to Chicago than Arlington Heights. Moving to Indiana would also save Williams money on taxes, something that should be important to the quarterback when he signs his next deal.
NFL players pay a “jock tax“, meaning they pay taxes for every game they play home and away. Indiana has an income tax of 2.95 percent. Illinois has an income tax of 4.95 percent.
Williams is planning to make important progress in the passing game in training camp so he has more leverage at the negotiating table next season. He wants to increase his completion percentage and help the Bears become the highest-scoring offense in the league.
“It’s just get the completion percentage up, keep the offense on the field more, score as many points as possible, be the highest-scoring offense, because that’s my part in the team, going out there and orchestrating it and being able to go out there and score whether it’s handoffs or passes, whatever, that doesn’t matter,” he said.
“It’s just being able to put up as many points as possible to help our team win as many games as possible and then keeping the turnovers very low.”
If he does that, Williams should become one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. Moving to Indiana could save him a significant portion of that cash.
