They say ’30 is the new 20′. It isn’t. It’s the same old 30. Injuries we sometimes suffer while sleeping and sudden muscle strains aside, there’s a grace that comes with reaching three decades of life. One just wakes up one day after being 29 years old and realizes that they have been hanging around on this planet for three decades. It’s kind of cool. It isn’t that way for players on the Philadelphia Eagles roster however.
If nothing changed between now and the beginning of training camp, nine of the 90 men on Philly’s current roster will have eclipsed the 30-year-old threshold.
