Brian Burns New Number

Players who change numbers have to buy out the inventory of their existing number.  Adrian Peterson was going to change his number from 28 to 23 as a Viking.  The bill was going to be astronomical, so he stayed 28.

In Burns statement he said "they are changing my position."  Players who change teams are able to change numbers without charge.  I am curious what position change Burns was referring to that allowed him to make his jersey change fre or cheap.

He's a linebacker now and will play olb in the new 3-4.

I’ve been as big of a Burns critic as anyone but just like everyone else he deserves a clean slate this year.  Hardly anyone played well under Rhule and I don’t think anyone got better.  Let’s see how he does with a real coaching staff and a scheme that puts him in position to succeed.

I honestly don't like the new number policy. One of the things I preferred about the NFL vs. college was the jersey numbers by position group. It just made the game easier to follow IMO. It's not a big deal but I did prefer the old way.

Also not a fan, but given the circumstances out of preferred Horn take zero rather than Burns.

As an aside, this would mean they're classifying him as a linebacker (duh) because under the rule, offensive and defensive linemen aren't allowed to wear zero.

Same number of meaningful games that we have played in his tenure

Edit: dammit @Ricky Spanish

I’m over him not getting traded, purely on the value we could have gotten to help Young, but that win and in Tampa game last year was about as meaningful as it gets. With Horn out, we needed some pressure from him and got very little. Luvu had a way bigger impact that game.

Booooo hate it. Back my day of the 90s being a zero was a bad thing ..(drop that zero get with this hero) 53 fit and was not a big time # for the Panthers before. Just can't understand anyone wanting to be a nothing.. but to each his own.
