According to the analysts at Spotrac, the New Orleans Saints have the league’s second-oldest roster with an age of 27.15. Only the Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets (28.22) are ranked lower, with the league average falling at 26.37.
And there’s the flaw in this kind of analysis. At the end of the day the gap between the Saints and the youngest team (the squad Rodgers just left, the Green Bay Packers) is just 1.79 years. Even the NFL’s least-experienced roster is still over 25 years old on average.
