A lot was made about the off-season acquisitions that Jon Gruden made after taking over control of the team. Specifically there was a lot of chatter about the average age of the players that were brought in. Time and time again Gruden and company brought in veterans for his squad, much to the chagrin of the media and some fans.
The result of the veteran shopping spree was the Oakland Raiders going from being the 19th oldest team in the league to the 32nd oldest team with an average age of 27.4 years old.
