Pretty sure he wasn't the first former player to own a team, just the latest.

And boooooo for the clickbait.

Unless you count George Halas, who was owner/coach/player for the Decatur Staley, which later went on to become the Chicago Bears, Richardson is the only former player to own an NFL franchise.

Does Jerry Richardson get in at some point?

Super Bowl winner and first former player to own a team; first owner to draw a pie chart on live TV; catatonically took in Panther games from his suite...

Halas would have been first though.

Technically he played for a team before there was an NFL, and after his playing days he was the owner of an NFL franchise. And, having been to the HOF, I can tell you the NFL claims a lot of football history to be their own long before there was an NFL.

His wiki page says that the NFL officially got its name in 1922, and Halas played several years for his Bears team after the 1922 season before retiring.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
