That's actually brilliant marketing and they should do it.

Other than your nansy-pansy liberal comment, I would also be okay with #2.

That would be Parker, so a really tough sell.

Really??  I'm hoping Parker did enough last year so Miami can trade him for something useful before he goes back to being the no talent he was the first five years in uniform for Miami.

I can appreciate the sentiment, but he's only been here five years so far. First four years: Toilet bowl. Last year, Pro Bowl

dang it, I knew someone was going to catch me on that, but I was too lazy to look up for sure whether he was here 5 or 6. lol

I read somewhere that his high school jersey number was 11 and that's the number he wants.  He wore 13 at Bama because 11 wasn't available.   Who wears 11 for you guys and do you think that guy would be willing to give it up?

If Parker is willing to give it up, then he should be able to name his price.   After all, he's dealing with a top 5 pick rookie signing bonus

Maybe Tua to wear #11, Parker (with a little Tua cash) to switch to his Louisville days #9.

Sounds like a fair swap to me. Grin

NFL receivers can't wear single digits.

Damn, forgot about that. After seeing Ty Montgomery still wearing 88 as a running back the last few years I thought the NFL may have softened on that stance...

Someone may have to have the hard word with Parker then: "Devante, you have two choices - you can sell your number to Tua, or you can play in Detroit this year. It's entirely your choice..."  Wink Tongue

I think Montgomery was still classified as a WR.  But I don't believe there is a rule restriction on WRs taking handoffs (or on RBs flanking out wide, for that matter), so...

NFL numbers for each position. Some seem odd to me like why receivers can wear either 10-19 or 80-89.

1–9: quarterbacks, kickers, and punters
10–19: quarterbacks, kickers, punters, and wide receivers
20–39: running backs and defensive backs
40–49: running backs, defensive backs, linebackers, and tight ends
50–59: linebackers, defensive linemen, and centers
60–79: offensive linemen and defensive linemen
80–89: wide receivers and tight ends
90–99: linebackers and defensive linemen

Feel free to blame Keyshawn Johnson for that, although it would have happened anyway since there were just too many receivers (and tight ends) on rosters, particularly as when you consider retired numbers. The Dolphins had a pretty average 6 WRs on the 53-man roster at the start of last season. Add a couple of tight ends and a couple of injuries and you're already at 10.

It makes sense why they do that.

Any given team is going to have at most 3 QBs, 1 kicker and 1 punter.  4 players for numbers 1-19.  Any given team is going to have 6 WRs and 3-4 TEs for numbers 80-89
