So this confirms the theory that skill position players outside of quarterback and kicker are divas that need single digit numbers.

Check.

Do not like.

I read somewhere that Dalvin Cook wanted to change from 33 to 4 (his college number) but that it would cost him 1.5 million!?!?

Think I’d keep the same of number.

Why would it cost him anything?

Reggie Bush fought it too. I’m fine with it in college because I’m used to it, but there’s something about the NFLs number system that I like. It’s clean.

He would have had to buy all unsold jerseys of his current number.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Seems like, a non event, to me.

 

[Mobile Bay]

I never understood why anybody even cared what their number was.

 

[patdog]

Ding see the big deal for the most part. Gonna be really strange to see a RB wearing #85 though. WTF?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Is #69 the least worn number in the NFL?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Old man Tom Brady thinks it’s stupid. He had a get off my lawn moment with it.

 

[ronpolk]

I have not seen what he said about it but it’s funny he would have a take about someone wanting a particular number seeing how he has branded “TB12”.

I don’t think it’s a big deal. I think it’s just another step the NFL is taking to stop worrying about things that don’t really matter, like finally not penalizing touch down celebrations.

What does the Twitter Mob say? Their opinion is the only one that matters these days.

That would be odd.
