I’m pretty sure if I remember correctly Marcus Peter’s payed some of that cost as well to allow carr to switch. I don’t think it was that much anyways but still. That certainly makes sense, since I know that is currently the catch / caveat with players wanting to change to single digits (and the like) ever since the new number rules were implemented for the 2021 season & beyond.

BBTV Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Are 90s available to all defensive players, or still just for linemen? Could a CB go with 99 if it's available?

I was happy that the Browns said they wanted players to "earn" their new numbers. Which is why they only have 1 single-digit player on defense and none on offense outside of QB. Nothing is more annoying than a random draft pick feeling that he's entitled to wear #1, only to be a huge disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 It's still ridiculous that the position with the league's biggest stars could potentially have the fewest available numbers. Star QBs should get preference over anyone else when it comes to numbers. If Russell Wilson or Idiot Rodgers change teams next year, they shouldn't just get saddled with whatever ugly / undesirable number is sitting in the discard pile after the defensive players and receivers get their grubby paws on them.
