There's no easy way out of this

Where is this aging roster? At the beginning of the season we had the 16th oldest roster. There are a few players making the overall age higher, DD, Cam, Taysom, Carr and Mathieu.

ML has been using this cap management hack for years it's why other teams have started doingthe same thing with void years. Now there are teams that have a completely different philosophy, but ML did what it took to keep the team competitive during the last years of Brees. The problem with that is it takes a significant reset to undo it and we haven't did that yet.
The overall roster age is skewed because of the amount of undrafted free agents/rookies we had to have at the bottom of the roster just to fill spots but we have one of the oldest starting lineups in the NFL (healthy). We are reliant on older players for success.
