Per CNNSI:

The NFL is considering a rule to allow skill position players to wear any number between 1-49. They think it will get approved.

The upshot is that you can bet that Edge is going to #5 -- the number he has asked the NFL three times to wear.

Also -- dont know if Fitz tries to buy #1 (his old college number) from Rackers

Does Q go back to his college number --#4?

stay tuned

Glad I've waited to buy a new jersey. If I had already spent the money, I'd be pissed!

I hope that rule gets approved, Id love to see edge in #5 Q in #4 and fitz in #1, would this mean that qb's could wear a number over 19? That would be odd.

Strictly a money move. Absolutely unnecessary. Don't they have anything better to do with their time?

Sheesh, I need to get a job with the nfl.

nazaquad is working on a statistic that each team that has had more than 2 players change numbers has gone to the playoffs. I would go more into depth but I don't want to ruin the suspense

Yes Ryan, I believe he thoroughly researched this situation and have become alarmed by the statistical.

Just a money move. Number change means new jersey revenue. It will flood the NFL with an injection of money... because they somehow needed it???

I'm still waiting for an analysis of the implications of switching to black shoes.

If they're going to make the change, why not do it up right and go all the way. Specifically:

If two or three players want jersey #5, let them wear 5a, 5b and 5c.

Also, why only numbers? Hell! Let them wear jersey "letters" - A, B, C, ZZ etc.

And what about symbols - Pi, Sigma, Omega, Smily Face.

It would take care of retired jersey numbers (letters. symbols) all the way thru the next milennium.
