Dumb ? probably, but I'm assuming #10 gets retired?

and needs to happen the first night game after Eli does retire

Any longer due to lack of numbers. Ring of honor is the play these days. But I would love if they made an exception this one time.

numbers anymore, that’s what the Ring of Honor is for. Probably won’t see a QB wear 10 for a bit though.

They have said they stopped retiring numbers. He will go in the ring of honor which is the modern equilivent.

True, but Eli’s gets retired. Slam dunk.

than position players given the league number rules.

I think #10 gets retired.

Yeah, I think Eli's #10 gets retired.

Are 11 and 14 retired?

Don't care what they said before.

They have neither retired or ever issued his # 92 to anyone. So they have a odd way of not retiring but in reality retiring #s to team icons, which Eli certainly is !

stopped retiring numbers. but I would bet against anyone else wearing that number for the Giants in my lifetime.

that they might not formally retire it doesn't really matter.

Maybe do 10 and 92 on the same day

I want both of those numbers retired. Absolutely.

#10 has to be retired. End of story. Even before #92. Although I know that could cause a lot of controversy if they do Eli's but not Strahan's.

Maybe as another poster said they'll do both the same night (similar to Simms and LT back in the day... ugh I actually remember watching that MNF game as a youngster, Emmitt breaking free through a dumpster-truck-size hole for an easy 50 yd TD run. Those were the ugly days.)

How could you forget about Ward Cuff?


Retired Number List - ( New Window )

No one else should wear #10. I'm sure Brad Van Pelt would agree too.

I'm sure he would have... BvP passed away in 2009.

he was the 2d draft pick in '73 and the NFL had a requirement for linebackers to have a number in the 50's. Van Pelt was able to keep his college number (10), because he was the Giants backup kicker.
