It will be a thing immediately, just like the last number rule change.  The incoming rookies and guys who have changed teams will be first in line.

I should have been more specific, i meant for current players already rostered. But yes, these rookies are going to get first dibs!

I remember when they officially let receivers and TEs wear numbers in the teens in 2004.  Almost all of the top pass catchers grabbed numbers in the teens.  The top 3 (Larry Fitzgerald, Kellen Winslow and Roy Williams) specifically grabbed #11.  Kellen Winslow ended up buying #80 off of a teammate going into the season.

I think #1 is going to be one of the hottest numbers in the league now.  So it goes back to what someone else asked...do we retire it?

This rule change will also make it a lot easier to retire jerseys since there’s less positional constraint now. I highly doubt a Panther ever wears 89 or 1 again, maybe even 59

How do we retire #1 when it was given by one of the most racist owners in the league. Probably should just move on from that era.

      Panthers Prospect Visits/Meetings

      I do not want nor have the energy to start a sanders vs BY topic..... Heres where Im at, what else is Titans Levi's or colts Arich going give in a trade...... Im no sanders fan, but it wouldn't bug me if caralas/Brandt/tepper/who____ wanted to go another route.....yes its been a QB whirlwind since ...to long.... still Im not sold on the skill and talent of one BY.   I think this is first year in many in which Carolina with have the same HC, QB, and GM. Its been a mess...

      Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart

      No one should be the least bit surprised by this organization doing powerfully stupid stuff. You don't accidentally achieve the worst record in the NFL since 2018, it takes consistently awful decisions to pull that off. And then the cherry on top of the dog poo sundae is that every year when we're closing in on a top 5 pick, here comes a couple of meaningless moral victories to fug that up. I'd be curious what percentage of our wins in the Tepper era have come when we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

      I think remember doing mock Sims for Carolina as many others, I don't think any of picked RBs in any rounds.... I honestly had the same "my team let me down" feels with the BY pick........just WHY all the holes and one of the spots were they have depth AND the RB market is at the lowest point in NFL history..... Just a    Per normal the huddle was for all for Zach Frazier, not me I wanted Marshawn Kneeland. Plus I wanted to REMAIN AT whatever LA pick and NOT TRADE UP FOR A ACL injuried RB. My friend was right, Dan did draft like he was still playing in his era..... ugh, Brandt and Dan cannot have that same problem this year......its beginning year 2 of a full 3 year rebuild..... for fugs sake, please find some talent and depth in later rounds....
