With the 53-man rosters set, and all of the calculations done, it has been confirmed that the Oakland Raiders have the NFL’s oldest roster.
To hear some of the media talking heads tell it, the Raiders will be rolling with the likes of Methuselah and Yoda manning key positions this season. To hear some tell it, the Raiders are going to be running a team out on the field who rely on canes, walkers, motorized scooters to get around, and where adult diapers will replace jock straps as standard issue gear.
And while we won’t go so far as to start screaming #FakeNews about it, we will say, for the most part, the average age statistic is one that’s largely overblown.
