Now that Jerry Richardson has another statue, which NFL owners are next?

One sign you've succeeded at life? Not only is a statue raised in your honor but said statue is flanked by a pair of sculptures of bad-ass-looking panthers. 

That's exactly how the Carolina Panthers organization honored owner Jerry Richardson recently. Richardson turned 80 on July 11, so the team celebrated the occasion by unveiling a 13-foot statue just steps from the entrance to Bank of America Stadium.

Richardson isn't the first owner with a statue—in fact, a statue had already been raised in his honor at the Panthers' training camp at Wofford College in South Carolina, and statues have been raised in Denver for Pat Bowlen, in Buffalo for Ralph Wilson, in Pittsburgh for Art Rooney and in New Orleans for Tom Benson—but it is rare for living owners to be commemorated in such a way. 

If Bowlen and Richardson are indeed setting a trend, here's a ranking of the rest of the owners of NFL teams from most to least likely to have a statue commissioned in their honor.

Here is a list of owners who will probably get a statue next. I only listed the top 10 from the article:

1.) Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys

2.) Dan Rooney, Pittsburgh Steelers

3.) Bob McNair, Houston Texans

4) Robert Kraft, New England Patriots

5.) Bill Bidwill, Arizona Cardinals

6.) Paul Allen, Seattle Seahawks

7.) The Davis family, Oakland Raiders

8.) Alex Spanos, San Diego Chargers

9.) Jim Irsay, Indiappolis Colts

10.) The Glazer family, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

 

Which owner do you think will be next?

From that list,I'd definitely say Rooney is the most deserving, I can't work up much interest in a family statue.

I agree that Rooney will be next.

I'm not interested in a family statue either. I think it would look weird to have a family statue in front of a stadium.

I'm surprised Jerry Jones hasn't put his own statue up in Dallas.....

No one made you read this thread.

You and @chknwing can go be ignorant somewhere else.

Jerry's face belongs on a doormat. They should put one at every entrance.
