ungest rosters Everyone knows that the Minnesota Vikings have one of the most talented rosters in the National Football League from top to bottom. After Saturday’s 53-man roster cutdowns were concluded Kyle Rudolph Jersey , they also stood as having one of the league’s youngest teams.According to this article, the Vikings are now the sixth-youngest team in the entire NFL, and the third-youngest in the NFC.It’s been quite the striking turnaround for the Vikings, as far as the age of their roster is concerned. In 2016, they had the second-oldest roster in the National Football League, with an average age of 26.6 years old. Now, the average age of a member of the Vikings is 25.5 years of age.As the article says, the difference in age between the teams might not look like a big deal at first, but if you take a look at the Vikings’ roster and the oldest roster on the list http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-nick-easton-jersey , the Oakland Raiders, the difference becomes more noticeable. The Raiders average age is 27.4 years old, nearly two full years more than Minnesota’s roster. Spread out over 53 players, that’s over a century of difference.With the retirement of cornerback Terence Newman, who will turn 40 on Tuesday, and the release of 35-year old defensive end Brian Robison, the elder statesman of the Vikings’ roster is now safety Andrew Sendejo at age. . .31. He is joined by quarterback Kirk Cousins, defensive end Everson Griffen, and cornerback Marcus Sherels as the only players on the Vikings’ current roster that are age 30 or older.With the Vikings having one of the NFL’s youngest rosters and having locked many key pieces of that roster into contracts for the foreseeable future Laquon Treadwell Jersey , the Vikings “window” of competitive football appears to be a pretty large one, and it’s one that should be open for quite a few years to come. So now what are we going to argue about during Training Camp?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Vikings 2018 SeasonVikings 2019 OffseasonU.S. Bank StadiumMinnesota Vikings PodcastsNFL Free AgencyMinnesota Vikings Free Agency 2019NFL Free Agency: Marcus Sherels to sign with New Orleans SaintsNew,232commentsSo now what are we going to argue about during Training Camp?CDTShareTweetShareShareNFL Free Agency: Marcus Sherels to sign with New Orleans SaintsBrace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY SportsFor the past few seasons, one of the primary topics of debate for Minnesota Vikings fans during Training Camp was whether or not this would be the year that the team finally replaces punt returner Marcus Sherels.Sadly, we won’t have to worry about having that debate this year.Numerous sources are reporting that Sherels has agreed to a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints. He becomes the third member of the Vikings to head to The Big Easy this offseason, following running back Latavius Murray and center Nick Easton.After an outstanding career at the University of Minnesota, Sherels came to the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2010. He spent that year on the practice squad, and became a fixture on the 53-man roster in 2011. While he did play a little bit at cornerback, his calling card was on special teams Womens Xavier Rhodes Jersey , specifically as a punt returner.Sherels is, quite easily, the best punt returner in Minnesota Vikings history. He has five punt return touchdowns, tied for the most return touchdowns in Vikings’ history with Cordarrelle Patterson and Percy Harvin (though it should be noted that Harvin and Patterson’s scores all came on kickoff returns, while Sherels’ touchdowns were all on punt returns).Sherels holds numerous other franchise records for punt returns, including the highest average yards per punt return in team history (15.2 in 2013), the most punt return yards in a game (119 on 21 October 2013), and the first Vikings’ player to have multiple games with more than 100 yards in punt returns, a feat he accomplished three times.It kind of feels like the end of an era Ben Gedeon Jersey , as Sherels was one of the longest-tenured members of the Vikings. He and Everson Griffen both joined the team in 2010, though Sherels didn’t make the 53-man roster until the final game of that season. Hopefully the Vikings have a solid contingency plan in place to replace him, as he’s been one of the NFL’s best punt return men for almost a decade now. . .something that definitely shouldn’t be taken for granted.Best of luck to Marcus Sherels going forward. . .well, until the Vikings and the Saints get together again. They’re not currently scheduled to do so in 2019, but who knows, am I right?
