Raiders have oldest roster in NFL after cutdowns
The Oakland Raiders went on a spending spree this offseason with the intention of lifting the franchise out of what's become a decade-long malaise.
We'll soon find out if the moves by general manager Reggie McKenzie make a difference. We can say the Raiders' offseason renovations made them markedly older.
Jimmy Kempski of Philly.com did some tabulating after final roster cutdowns on Saturday, finding that the Raiders now field the oldest roster in the NFL. The average age for an Oakland player is 27, nearly two years older than the youngest team.
OLDEST
1. Raiders (27)
2. Giants (26.75)
3. Bears (26.72)
4. Colts (26.66)
5. Chargers (26.64)
YOUNGEST
1. Rams (25.09)
2. Jaguars (25.2)
3. Chiefs (25.34)
4. Cowboys (25.44)
5. Vikings (25.58)
