Oakland Raiders: Older Players Not Always Better Players

More from Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders finished a 2015 season that saw them improve dramatically on both sides of the ball. And a highly productive offseason has them poised to achieve even more. However, there are some out there who still complain that Oakland is missing some key ingredients – such as a veteran receiver to pair with – and/or replace – some of the Raiders’ stable of youngsters.

However, these folks seem to miss the obvious point that older does not always mean better.

According to Sam Robinson of Today’s Pigskin, the Raiders are taking a big risk by not adding a veteran receiver to team with Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper.
