and all these other players that demand cash for changing numbers always come across as such a-holes. Unless there's some personal reason you want to keep your assigned number, just give it to the new guy. No reason to over-use your leverage to new players.
Right, I am a long time vet in the NFL and I should just give my number away to a rookie?
If you've worn a different number with every team you've been a part of, is it really YOUR number or are you just looking for a payday?
No, I bought it used on eBay for $20 for a halloween costume. But it's available if you're craving a #55.
It’s all yours, I’ll send you my Cruz and Burress jerseys.
I already have a Cruz jersey, and I'd rather keep my Arrington then trade for a Burress. But I'm glad to know you have just as bad a bottom end of the jersey collection as I do!

Do they have to tell you their personal reason to want to keep their number or you'll just assume they don't have one?
Gano comes off as anything but an a-hole, IMHO.
It's not a money grab for himself - the money is going to charity.
And his reaction to the Giants' tweet was pretty funny, too: "Thought you guys were gonna post my new jersey hanging up…"

Right, I'm a kicker that's had a different number every team I've been on and I should just squeeze the #5 overall pick for every dime I can just because I happen to have his number?
Good for Gano allegedly giving the money to charity, but it's still a weird look.

C'mon, just because KT wore #8 on his HS team and #5 in college, don't hold it against him. ;-)

Thibs is slotted to make 20 million dollars over the life of his rookie deal being a top 5 pick. Making rookies pay for team dinners and veteran gifts is essentially the modern era's rookie hazing.
Over at the ravens, Marlon Humphery has been trying to get Kyle Hamilton to buy him a Maserati.
But everybody is afraid that old Jim Otto will show up at the door screaming like a raving maniac.
I'm glad he got his single digit number; I hope he's conspicuous for that not only as a linebacker but more importantly because of his play between the lines.
LB's are allowed to wear single digit numbers. DE can't. If he wears 5 does it constrain how he lines up? Is there some defensive equivalent to the way an OL has to report if he is lining up in an eligible position?

obviously no. He's an LB. First #1 LB sunce Banks. Long time coming!
Man, all the whining about Gano being some kind of jerk?

And KT wore #8 in HS. He took #5 in college because Jevon Holland was already established wearing #8.

Allows for 272 distinct numbers counting single digits.
I’d like to see how much would be given away for free if there was something each one had and was asked to give up.
50 grand for puppies behind bars isn’t a bad deal for the number
