One of our Chitown moles tells us folks within the Bears' organization believe that the 12-year, $30 million sponsorship agreement with a Financial Institution for Which We'll Do No Free Advertising is part of the McCaskey family's overall plan to reap as much money as possible from the franchise before selling the team in approximately three years.
As we reported on April 9 in the wake of the passing of Ed McCaskey, the next generation of George Halas's progeny aren't inclined to keep the team that Papa Bear founded all those years ago.
Word is that the coming sale of the team is making G.M. Jerry Angelo even more determined to get rid of coach Dick Jauron ASAFP, so that Angelo then will have at least two seasons with a coach of his choosing to show that he truly is capable of running an NFL team into something other than the cold, hard ground. Though we're told that Angelo doesn't expect to be a part of the post-McCaskey Bears, he'll need to land somewhere, and he'll be hoping that his new job won't be a step back.
