Professionally, the Arizona Cardinals are the oldest team in the NFL, being founded in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club. The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears are the next oldest teams, both being founded in 1919. The Bears (as the Decatur Staleys) and the Cardinals (as the Racine Cardinals) both joined the NFL in 1920 as founding teams. The Packers joined a year later in 1921.
If you want to get technical, the Green Bay Packers would actually be the oldest team, as you can trace their lineage back to 1896 to semi-professional teams that played in Green Bay. However, they did not officially become the Packers until 1919, and therefore are not considered the oldest.
Continuing on, the current New York Giants would be next on the list, having been founded in 1925, followed by the Lions, who were founded in 1929 as the Portsmouth Spartans.
Contrary to popular belief, the Giants were not founded in 1919, or in 1921, as the 1919 team folded the same year, and the 1921 team folded the following year in 1922. Other than the name, neither one of those teams have any relation to the current New York Giants.
