The Eagles are a younger team after the retirements of Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox.
As of roughly 8:30 p.m. on cutdown day, when we finished collecting data from all 32 NFL team website rosters, the Green Bay Packers had the youngest team in the NFL.
Previously, the youngest teams in the NFL were as follows:
• 2023: Green Bay Packers
• 2022: Cleveland Browns
• 2021: New York Jets
• 2020: Jacksonville Jaguars
• 2019: Miami Dolphins
• 2018: Cincinnati Bengals
• 2017: Cleveland Browns
• Every year from 2012-2016: St. Louis / Los Angeles Rams
The Miami Dolphins have the oldest roster in the NFL this year. The Eagles ranked 6th, as in, 6th youngest. They were the 21st youngest last year. Obviously, the retirements of Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox have something to do with the lower age.
By the time you read this, this data will already be out of date as teams continue to make tweaks to their rosters, although even with continued roster movement, the average ages of each team shouldn’t change much. Here are the results, keeping in mind that this is merely a snapshot, and that context can be applied to each individual team:
(Also, no, using the median age for each team is not the better way to do this.) 😇
