Burfict will be 27 in September.
Green just turned 29.
Atkins is 29.
Dunlap is 28.
Boling is 28.
Kirkpatrick will be 28 this season.
Iloka is 27.
Dalton will be 30 this season, but QBs last longer than the other position players. However, once he hits 35, you have to start wondering when the decline will come.
Most of those guys should have 3-4 more years of playing at a high level. Some a couple more. Dalton should have 7-8 more effective seasons.

I personally was sad to see Whit leave, but I thought three years was too long. I would have rather just franchise tagged him.
Pretty obvious that guys like Whit are the exception. He works his ass off and he's aging well. I still was ok with not signing him to a multi year deal. Shame we didn't bring in competition/insurance for Og though. I guess they didn't learn anything watching him wreck our season last year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
