After the final 53-man cutdowns, it has been resolved that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the youngest team in the NFL, with an average age of just 25.3 years. In contrast, the New York Jets possess the oldest roster in the league this year, with an average age of 28.9 years, followed by the New Orleans Saints at 28.5 years.
