    Only two of those guys play significant minutes, though.

    I was just thinking about where the roster has turned over.
    New older guys playing a lot - Sarvas (Sam/Nyarko seem like they will be mainstays although both haven't played as much for different reasons?)
    New younger guys playing a lot - Mullins, Acosta, Vincent (sorta although I'm fine if he rarely plays because we have better options whatever their age)
    I'm totally fine with that given that Kamara is injured and Igboananike is very new.

    We also already have Birnbaum, NDL, Kemp, Hamid, Jeffrey who are relatively young and play quite a bit.
    I think if you look at our overall roster, it's not particularly old or young, although it's functionally a LOT younger than it has been in the last 2-3 years or maybe even more.

    Jeffrey, at 26, is only a year older than Vincent and is ahead of him on the "depth chart."

    Yep. I was mostly responding to guys that we've brought in recently (this offseason or this year) although I mentioned Jeffrey and other young guys lower down in my post.
