    Perhaps this doesn't deserve its own thread, but will Leonard Williams switch to a new Jersey number now that there are some in the 90's and 70's available?

    70-Dozier
    71-Ijalana
    72-Bowen
    73-I think they've been reserving this to retire Klecko's jersey
    74-Mangold
    75-Aboushi
    76-Available
    77-Carpenter
    78-Douzable
    79-Qvale
    90-Retired: Byrd
    91-Richardson
    92-Available
    93-Available
    94-Harrison
    95-Available
    96-Wilkerson
    97-Pace
    98-Coples
    99-Barnes

    76, 93, and 95 came from cutting Wes Johnson, Babin, and Ronald Talley, while 92 is with Vickerson on IR. My guess is they won't use 76 since Johnson is on the practice squad, so what do you think his number will be?

    Wasn't Ernie Ladd the original big cat and didn't he wear 77 and 99?

    Didn't see it in the other thread, but Leonard Williams said that himself and a beat writer tweeted it.

    Well in terms of the Jets to me Shaun Ellis is the original Big Cat. However you are right Ladd was named the Big Cat

    I kind of liked 62 - it looked weird in a good way.

    Williams choose 92 b/c that's the number of sacks he getting on his rookie contract. I think.

    92 sacks in during his rookie contract talk about a bust

    It's an illegal number for a defensive lineman in the NFL I'm pretty sure. He'd have to get special permission from the league I believe, so he'd have to be pretty attached to it.

    I was just looking at his Wikipedia page, and it's disgusting to see that 1 year with the Patriots. It is a little surprising he never signed a 1 day contract.

    There were salty feelings on both sides.. he wanted that last payday, JETS were (supposedly) trimming fat. H ego tpissed , signed with the Pats and was garbage...
    Then the salt hardened

    When I think about jets playing 1 disgusting year with the Patriots, I think of one name only. It's five letters, and it ends with I-S.

    But it's not Ellis.
