The fired head coach-general manager tandem have left the franchise in bad shape. Not only did they inherit a playoff team that regressed badly on the field, but they made the squad old.
According to a recent study by ESPN, the Raiders are one of the oldest teams in the NFL this season. They study is based off of snap counts during this season and the results show the Raiders are the fifth oldest team based on old-field play in the 2023 season.
