    So we have a John Abraham, Art Monk, Lamont Jordan/Johnny Hector, John Hall, Richard Todd, and Wade Smith superstition of former Jersey wearers. Nice.

    I do like Gholston getting 56, but i want Barton to understand that this kid is better than him so he should get his college number...... I wonder why Gholston got 56, hmm.

    The sooner Dustin Keller puts on number 81, the sooner we can all forget about its previous owner.

    A lot of great players around the NFL wear 81. More superstition.

    I would have let Keller have his number IF it didnt belong to Curtis which I think should be retired

    Gholston should buy his number from Barton if they let them do that like baseball

    WRs can't have numbers in the 20s barring serious overflow though..

    I do consider him a WR but he could be considered a FB/TE to allow it. I dont like WR with QB numbers unless your someone like a Antwaan Randle el or Brad Smith.

    WRs have 20 numbers from which to choose: 10-19 and 80-89.

    TEs have 10 numbers from which to choose: 80-89.

    Any request to wear a number for a special position (such as H-back) must be made to the commissioner. This is where the numbers worn by guys like Chris Cooley and Dallas Clark come into play.

    They had to get the dust off it that was left there by its last wearer.

    We have had some decent 56's.... Mehl was an alltime great Jet and Lageman although being drafted way too high wasn't a bad player. Now Abe will always be #94 regardless of what he wore in 05

    That's not how it works.

    Also, Gholston hasn't played 1 down yet... lets see the kid in the NFL before we make him into anything.....

    A returning Vet gets the respect from any rookie that has never played a Down in the NFL.

    I was actually hoping Keller would get a jersey in the 40's...

    45 would have looked pretty bad ass...

    56 will look good on Gholston.
