Baker's #?

[RJK]

I’m surprised he hasn’t had an introductory presser yet tbh.

He should be #13. Baker's dozen.

Sorry guys, but you can't go retiring every number that belonged to a player you liked.

This is one case where I actually agree with Tepper. With all the Hall of Famers in their history, the Steelers could retire a load of numbers, but they don't.

Retiring Sam Mills number made sense because Mills was more than just a good player.

Newton? Kuechly? Smith? I can see equipment managers holding them back for a few years, but retiring them? Nah.

For the record, Mayfield doesn't sound like he's all that heavily tied to #6...

I do hope he scores 11 instead of 6. The tiny superstitious part of me thinks he should get rid of the 6 and go back to his roots.

#17 Should Be up there has well, was a botched kick away from being superbowl mvp, and took this franchise to places we never dreamed possible 

Honestly, agreed.  Jake isn't appreciated enough.  I loved that guy.

PJ Walker has 11 at the moment.

The other number that's available is 13.

Im aware, I called that out earlier in the thread. Im sure PJ will accept some cash for the number based on his current career trajectory.

Our buddy Ellis points out that the number 13 represents a "baker's dozen".

Hadn't thought about that but...

You can always let players wear famous numbers (Yankees have done it numerous times) then eventually retire that number and for the player it's meant to be tied to. Not saying anyone will or should wear #1, but it could easily be worn by someone else, then after they part ways you can retire it "for Cam".
