As the Cleveland Browns take the field against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, they are no longer starting the youngest roster in the NFL the way they once were.

In fact, the Browns are fielding one of the oldest rosters in the NFL. According to The 33rd Team, the Browns have the second-oldest starting unit in the entire NFL with an average age of 27.64. Only the Miami Dolphins have an older starting lineup than the Brown at an average of 27.92 years old.

The other teams that round out the top five include the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, and Carolina Panthers.

Taking a look at the Browns’ roster, it is easy to see where the age comes from when looking at players like offensive guard Joel Bitonio, the defensive tackle room, safety Rodney McLeod in the last year of his NFL career, and more. This means the Browns must capitalize in 2024.

Luckily for the Browns, they have hit on mid-round picks like cornerback Martin Emerson Jr., defensive end Alex Wright, offensive tackle Dawand Jones, and more. Now with first round picks back in their arsenal, they will be able to reload their roster with young players.
