It's not unusual for NFL owners to preside over their teams beyond the age of 80.
Ravens Owner Steve Bisciotti does not envision that path for himself. At 65 years old, Bisciotti plans to end his stewardship over the Ravens earlier than some of his peers.
Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Arthur Blank of the Atlanta Falcons are both 83 years old, while Stephen Ross of the Miami Dolphins is 85.
They're going strong, but Bisciotti hopes to be relaxing with a few more Super Bowl rings before he reaches 80.
"When I watch guys like Art Blank and Steve Ross and Jerry Jones – and Jerry talking about what part of his anatomy he would give up for a Super Bowl at 83 years old – I don't want to be there," Bisciotti said. "I really don't.
"I want to win a couple of Super Bowls and get the hell out. I'd love that to be in the next 10 years when I'm 75. That's my dream."
One of the most respected owners in sports, Bisciotti also discussed his plan for succession, whenever that time comes. He said he will not pass down ownership to his family.
"I made that decision 25 years ago," Bisciotti said. "I don't think that's healthy for my family. I've seen families feud and ruin over these damn teams, and I was determined not to do it."
However, as the Ravens' search for their next head coach continues, Bisciotti remains focused on adding to the Lombardi Trophy case for another 10 or so years.
"If I have one of the top teams at 75, I'll probably stay until [I'm] 76," Bisciotti said. "I'll probably bail somewhere around 10 years from now when I have a really bad season or back-to-back [bad] seasons."
