Vikes avg age is 26.54. Wouldn't call that old.

Where is that number from? It wouldn't be very useful if it was either last year's age or this year's age with all the first and second year guys that don't have a chance of making the roster.

I calculated it myself from their birthdates on NFL.com and the roster on there doesn't give birthdates to the guys that I don't think will make the roster.

They're old at a key position though. When Fat Pat starts to fall off, that defense is going to be very different. He's 35 now and I don't know how good the guys they have to replace him are, but they're unlikely going to be elite as P. Williams is.

The same could probably be said about the Packers CBs though. But P. Williams might not be around much longer and IMO he's the key cog of that front seven. Whether he can play 2-3 more years is going to be important to the immediate success of that franchise.

I think they are planning for that Lurker. His contract only has 1 year left I believe and both have talked about it being his last. He has already been limited the last couple of years to 1st and 2nd down plus short yardage. If an obvious passing down he is out as well.

Solid work. Are you sure that you are a Vikings fan?
