Player number changes

[Eazy-E]

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.....

They can change it again after all the pre season cuts

99 is how many years Adams played in the NFL

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.
