As of Today anyway...
Bill Parcells and the Dolphins have been one of the league's more aggressive teams during the NFL Free Agency period. They've signed eight unrestricted free agents and traded for nose tackle Jason Ferguson. One of the most significant accomplishments the Dolphins have done is get younger. They released five veterans whose average age was 34.2. Those aging vets were replaced by seven free agents whose average age
is 26.7.
On NFL Network last night, The show Total Access was discussing the impact Brett Favre’s retirement had on the average age of the Green Bay Packers. As of yesterday the Green Bay Packers are the youngest team in the NFL. The Miami Dolphins showed up in the list at number six. The show only displayed the seven youngest teams and here is the entire top seven with the average age per player:
1. Green Bay Packers-25 years, 300 days
2. Buffalo Bills-26 years, 66 days
3. Atlanta Falcons-26 years, 96 days
4. New York Jets-26 years, 115 days
5. Indianapolis Colts-26 years, 125 days
6. Miami Dolphins-26 years, 147 days
7. San Diego Chargers-26 years, 190 days
It would have been nice to see all 32 teams on the list however in order to perhaps extract a little more meaning. Interesting to me that 3 of the top 6 on the list comes from the AFC EAST making this division the youngest in the NFL. It also seems apparent that the seven youngest teams are either a playoff caliber team or one of the worst in the NFL. No middle ground in that list.
The additions of Ferguson and defensive tackle Randy Starks may hint that the Dolphins aren't going to take either LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey or USCs Sedrick Ellis with the first pick. Signing Cade McNown may also hint that Miami will also pass on Boston Colleges QB Ryan. I just listened to a Justin Smiley on NFL Network and Smiley indicated that McNown by far is the largest most impressive quarterback he has ever met in person.
