Is age just a number in the NFL? The New Orleans Saints currently have the oldest team in the league, but not by much — Spotrac research found their roster has an average age of 27.24 years.

It’s kind of an overblown issue even if it’s become a popular criticism of the team, relying on high-profile defenders over 30 like Cameron Jordan, Demario Davis and Tyrann Mathieu.
