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.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
