how old was george blanda when he retired from the oakland raiders
George Blanda George Frederick Blanda (September 17, 1927 – September 27, 2010) was an American football quarterback and placekicker who played professionally in the American Football League (AFL) and National Football League (NFL). Blanda played 26 seasons of professional football, the most in the sport's history, and had scored more points than anyone in history at the time of his retirement. Blanda retired from pro football in 1976 at the age of 48. He was one of only two players to play in four different decades (John Carney 1988–2010, is the other), and he holds the record for most extra points kicked.[1] During his career, he played under head coaches Bear Bryant, George Halas, and John Madden.
2018 Oakland Raiders season The 2018 season is the Oakland Raiders' 49th in the National Football League, their 59th overall, their 24th since their return to Oakland, and their first under head coach Jon Gruden since his rehiring by the organization (fifth overall). The Raiders will play their home games at Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum. This is their first season since 2013 without star defensive end/outside lineback Khalil Mack, after he was traded to the Chicago Bears for two first round draft picks.
