Who Is the Oldest Owner of an NFL Team?
Virginia Halas McCaskey, the 100-year-old owner of the Chicago Bears, is the oldest owner in the NFL. She’s held that title for nearly a decade since former Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson died in 2014.
McCaskey is the oldest owner of a major sports franchise in the United States. She’s also the NFL’s longest-tenured owner, having earned that title following the death of former Arizona Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill in 2019.
McCaskey inherited the Bears from her father, team founder and NFL legend George Halas, upon his death in 1983. Halas originally planned to hand the club over to his son, George Jr., but the younger Halas died in 1979.
