The oldest three NFL franchises are (in order) the Cardinals (1898); the Packers (1919); and the Bears (1920). Yes, both the Bears and the Cardinals are original NFL members in 1920 (the Packers joined the league in 1921), but pro football existed for many years before that and both the Cards and the Pack are older than the league.
