Inductees are listed here with a team if they played, or coached, or were an executive, with them for at least 4 seasons. I bent this rule slightly for Wolf with Tampa Bay and Polian with Carolina, as they were, in each case, the 1st GM in franchise history, and were, despite only being with those teams for 3 years, partly responsible for each team reaching the NFC Championship Game as quickly as they did (the Panthers in Year 2, the Bucs in Year 4 despite losing every game in Year 1 and nearly also in Year 2).
I have divided moved teams accordingly (i.e., Johnny Unitas never took a snap for the Indianapolis Colts). “Sure future Hall-of-Famers” are not included, because, as we have seen in baseball, there is no such thing anymore.
Tenure as a player, or a coach, or an executive is only counted if they were elected as such. In other words, Raymond Berry may have coached the Patriots into a Super Bowl, and Forrest Gregg did so with the Bengals, but they were elected as a Colts player and a Packers player, respectively, so those are the teams with which they're included.
Ties in the rankings are broken by more players, as opposed to other categories; and then by time in the league. So a team with 4 players is ahead of one with 3 players and 1 coach, and a team with 3 players in 50 years is ahead of one with 3 players in 80 years.
Figures are listed here as follows: Players in chronological order of their Hall of Fame service with the team (even if they had other functions with that team), then coaches, then executives, then broadcasters.
