Looking at Jersey Prices as Indicator of Who Will Be Back

[Proudiddy]

Was just watching the NFLN about McNabb's benching... They talked about the report that like 2 days after McNabb was benched that his jersey was discounted in the team store (along with Albert Haynesworth, who's jersey had been discounted for weeks now).

So, IIRC, our team has done similar things before with players that wouldn't be bac. Or at least I know we've discussed that here before. Anyway, I looked through our team store and all the jerseys of the main guys we're worried about are regular priced.

Only discounted jerseys we have in our team store are of guys that are already gone. I know this is reaching, but hey, we're on our way to 1-15 and we've already discussed the draft ad nauseam...

Do you think this is a sign of security in terms of those guys being back? (DWill, TD, etc.)

No, contract talks are a sign of security.

I've seen Gambles jersey go on sale in spurts for like 4 years, so take that for what it's worth.

You're right, but too bad our FO is working under a gag order and we don't know WTF is going on, so I have to look elsewhere.

Well, I know sometimes they can become slightly discounted if there's only limited sizes left (like only available in small) until they get more in, but they do that everywhere, like Eastbay and all the big retail stores...

like anything else, prices are determined by demand.

demand for the jersey of a player of a 1-15 team isn't going to be the same if the team was 15-1.

Dwayne Jarrett's jersey was hella discounted before the season started

our crappy store sells "white" jerseys for cheap every year right after the superbowl, I got a Davis jersey for $25, they also sell Gamble, Marshall, at the time Jarrett..... any jersey they had in white was on sale, it doesn't mean poo, other then they might have too many and are trying to get rid of them
