Number change

There is no way Cam switches. It would probably cost him millions.

Clausen won't even suit up for a single game this year barring injury, so what the fug does it matter what number he has when he won't even be wearing a jersey?

Why?

It would make millions when everyone scurried to both buy up the old or get the new.

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has talked about changing jersey numbers, but he revealed today that he decided not to when he found out how much that would cost him.

Peterson said he wanted to switch from wearing 28 to 23, which he thought he could do at the time that Nike takes over the NFL’s jersey license from Reebok. But Peterson has been informed that he’d have to buy back any unsold 28 jerseys that have already been printed, and that could cost $1 million.

“So here is the deal with the number change!” Peterson wrote on Twitter. “So I received a call and I was informed that I would’ve to buy all jerseys that’s been produced Thus far! N the total amount that I would have to pay blew my mind!!!!! Why? Ok so I see maybe ten thousand dollars of my total jersey sales! That’s it!!! In I know I’ve mostly likely been in the top ten When it comes to top sales ! Why in the hell do I have to pay a Million dollars to change my number! I don’t even get paid a million Dollars by my sponsors a year! Wow!!!”

Yeah I like Jimmy bashing as much as the next guy. However, Jimmy giving up his number to Cam last year would have the same effect of saying "I am not a competitor". Doesn't matter now, but giving your number to someone else at a different position is entirely different than giving your number to the guy trying to take your job.

Clausen is such a pussy.

Honestly, what a little bitch. Cam needs to stay with 1. That's who he is now. Thats the number he set the records at the highest level with. If anything, this just shows what a little puss that Clausen really is. He wouldn't give up 2 and be a good teammate to Cam.

Honestly Cam probably doesn't even know his name. That's the hilarious part. I bet 95% of the roster don't even think the kid can play.

If Cam wanted 2 all he had to do was write a check....he didn't want it. Clausen couldnt just give it to him.

From what I understand, Clausen never had a realistic consideration of winning the job. Not even some. The number had little to do with it either way. You don't burn bridges in this business and when he didn't cough up that number he was burning a bridge and declaring his allegiance. He is a snot-nosed prick.

Dude, Clausen couldnt just give the number up....ish don't work like that. Only time you see that is when a vet comes in and a nobody has his number.

Clausen implied Cam could buy it. Standard procedure. Said Cam could flat out have it if Baker would give up 7

NFL has a rule that if you change your name or number you have to buy up all the jerseys that are in stock, so that the NFL doesnt loose number on all the stock it has.

When Chad Johnson changed his name, he had to go through all of that.

Too much logic in this post.

Much easier to blame Clausen than a shitty punter who isn't even on the team anymore.

There is a man code about it. Guys will buy the other guy a vacation or slip him 10 grand. I think Warrick Dunn had someone help build a house for a needy family. All we know is Cam and Jimmy negotiated and Jimmy's price was too high. If Cam didn't want to fork over $25k that's one thing. If Jimmy was asking for over 100 grand then he's being a dick.

Like ZOMG how dare teh Jimmy not roll over For Cam last year why can't he just accept he didn't have swag!!
