New head coach Jon Gruden has said that one reason the Raiders added so many veteran players to their roster this offseason was to generate in-house competition.

On the field and in the meeting room, it has affected another aspect of the team: communication.

The Raiders brought in 21 veteran players this spring and re-signed four of their free agents. That included 10 players age 30 or older — a trend that led some to jokingly wonder if Gruden was trying to “throw the game back to 1998” in more ways than one.
