    This site seems to have some interesting lineage info. I had no idea it went back so far.

    Thanks *robboy, excellent site, one can notice that in 1920 a team called the Chicago Cardinals was formed. They became the St. Louis Cardinals, and today are the Arizona Cardinals. Also in 1921 the Green Bay Packers were created...

    If you mean longest ago created, the Decatur Staleys, now the Chicago Bears, were created in 1919.

    If you consider the point of continous existance as a pro team, it's the Cardinals, even though the team name changed over the years.

    1899
    Chris O'Brien formed a neighborhood team, which played under the name the Morgan Athletic Club, on the south side of Chicago. The team later became known as the Normals, then the Racine (for a street in Chicago) Cardinals, the Chicago Cardinals, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Phoenix Cardinals, and, in 1994, the Arizona Cardinals. The team remains the oldest continuing operation in pro football

    The official site of the Hall of Fame says the Cardinals are the oldest professional football team in terms of continuous operation, were founded as the Morgan Athletic Club in 1898. Nicknamed after the Cardinal red jerseys they donned in the early years, the team operated in Chicago through 1959, in St. Louis from 1960 to 1987, moved to Arizona following the 1987 season.
