Bears

ANSWER:

The Arizona Cardinals began playing in Chicago in 1898 as an amateur athletic club. They played in the inaugural NFL season in 1920, along with the Bears, who just that year moved to Chicago from Decatur, Illinois.

That only covers NFL teams, though, and we know that there were other college and amateur teams around the Chicago area at the time. Northwestern University, for example, has records of a football team as far back as 1876.
