Apparently, the 53 with an average age of 25.2 years is the youngest in the NFL. They narrowly beat out the Browns who are at 25.3.
Of course, we all know that tomorrow that will likely change...but still we got some young ones out there esp if you figure out 2 oldest players are Kevin Huber and Clark Harris

I love it. At the very least they should be an exciting team that’s fun to watch.

Back in the day, that used to be called "rebuilding".

True, but when your foundation is:
Dalton
Green
Geno
Dunlap
Burfict
Dennard & Dre with a 3rd year possible all pro in Jackson and a host of other young stud from the 2017 draft, the present and the future looks bright in my opinion. A rebuild would not include all 5 guys listed at the top
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

You can “rebuild” in the NFL quicker than most other leagues. The Eagles went from having a losing record 2 years ago to Super Bowl champs.

I'm excited to see some Jordan Willis out there. With all the attention on Geno, Los, Lawson and Billings, Willis might just have all the opportunity in the world to be a wrecking ball. I have a ton of faith in this guy to go out there and play mean.

Agreed 100%, and I hope they stick with the rotations and give Carlos and Geno time off. Those guys, when fresh, are unstoppable. I want wave after wave of fresh pass rushers attacking the opposition.

Nate gets giddy hearing this stuff. Man, this is exciting.
To the OP Pally, i think it was only a few years ago where we had one of the oldest rosters, things change fast.

my worry is not pass rush it is run defense, a major area of weakness last season and before... i hope we have enough beef in Willis and Hubbard to get it done... and hope Lawson is not exposed at times against the run

Part of me is really hopeful that this youth movement gets us past the mindset this club seems to have, that they don't show up for big games. A bigger part of me still thinks this is on coaches. Whatever it is, it needs to go. We need these young guys to come in prideful and raring to rip every club to shreds.....

Players have changed, coordinators and assistants have changed and the results in the biggest of games hasn't. Maybe it's time for Marvin to stop walking around the locker room panting into a paper bag on game day.

Along with the youth movement it seems there's been a philosophy change as well this offseason. Let's hope they can continue the changing into the outcome of the big games.

Pretty sure Whitworth, AJ Hawk, Peko, Reggie Nelson, Leon Hall and Pacman had a lot to do with that... All and all, that team was still pretty young

Yup... They can't run the ball on offense either. Good thing it's more of a passing league now. I'm still not sure they can keep opponents honest with the run though.

Great, our team is full of millennials with their smart phones, and their snapchats, and their soy lattes.

The difference between the oldest team and the youngest team is roughly that of the last roll of a 12 pack of toilet paper in a house full of girls.. It's not that significant..
Now watch me come under attack for my mysogynistic views about girls and toilet paper .
