Player number changes

I noticed Corn changes his number to 29 now that Mike Adams is gone. Do you think Eric Reid changes to 35 now?

Are there any rules to number changes? I take it you can’t do it mid season? Would we keep a guy like Brian Burns from switching to 99 if we were to cut KK next year because of jersey sales and stuff?

It’s going to be a long, hot, summer.

Unusual for guys to change numbers, alas Cam because Clausen wouldn’t give up #2, even though 1 was supposed to be off limits..... 

 

there was a kicker for NYG that wore 17, Plaxico got signed & asked what he had to do to get the number. Dude said “getting ready to take the family to a Disney vacation, you can pay for that...” so he took the Disney trip on Burress’ dime, then adopted #10. That’s the year Eli was drafted/traded and Eli wanted the #10. This time, an outdoor kitchen put on the kicker’s house was what it took for him to give up that number.... just a story I heard years back, useless information.....

To change your number, there is an NFL rule that you have buy all the jerseys with your old number on them that have already been made and are for sale. Obviously that really isn't an issue for Corn but there could be a decent number of Reid jerseys out there for sale so it might not be worth it to him financially.

Adrian Peterson wanted to change his number while he was in Minnesota then when he found out how much he would have to pay to do so he changed his mind.

Also, this doesn't apply when a player gets cut or traded and I think rookies can change their number without penalty up until the first regular season game but I'm not 100% on that.

      Chris Long: Bryce Young Went Toe To Toe With Patrick Mahomes

      I don't think should be seen as an insult, legitimately. Teddy's floor was consistently a good game manager to his ceiling of border-line top 10 QB who's arm strength didn't blow you away but could make all the throws and generally made good decisions and had some sneaky athleticism.  Teddy started on quite a few teams. He had a good start to his career, had a horrific injury that could have ended his career, came back and played himself into being a starter, got a contract here (and subsequently became another victim of Tepper's impetuousness), and then started games for a few other teams. Teddy could have been a franchise QB had he not suffered a freak injury, and then he just never ended up in another stable situation. He still had a good NFL career that could have been great without that injury. Teddy before that injury did look like a franchise QB, and I dont think that's a bad comp for Young nor an insult in terms of what his career could be based on that comparison.

      Absolutely the wrong take. We have to run and gun. We have zero post presence. We just have to make shots. We just can't hit water from a boat tonight and we're turning it over to boot. Then you have a poor shooting opponent shooting lights out.  Looks like a long season ahead of us though if Hubert doesn't adapt to this roster. We have to play a pressure trapping D and get out in transition because we aren't beating anyone in the half court.
