Los Angeles Rams roster ranks among the oldest in the NFL
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams head into the 2026 season with one of the oldest rosters in the NFL. According to Spotrac calculations following final 53-man roster cuts on August 31, the Rams hold an average age of 27.3 years. This ranks them as the third-oldest team in the league, trailing only the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons. The roster features several veteran players aged 30 or older, including Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, Davante Adams, and Myles Garrett. Despite the reliance on veteran talent, the team continues to integrate younger core players like Puka Nacua and Kobie Turner. The entire NFC West division generally skews toward older rosters, with all four teams ranking among the league's more veteran-heavy squads.
