SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Every NFL team is looking to get younger and cheaper -- well, except for maybe the Redskins or Raiders -- and the Vikings are no exception. The team has just eight players on its 90-man roster who are 30 or older. The oldest is long snapper Cullen Loeffler at 33. Guard Joe Berger is 32. Quarterback Matt Cassel, outside linebacker Chad Greenway and defensive end Brian Robison are all 31.
