I beleive Gaffney retains his old number from 07 but Stallworth didn't,I think he was #18 in 2007

I think you're right. I guess since Slater is technically listed as a WR they can't split it like the others? I'm not sure exactly how that works.

Gallery has Light's number. Interesting.

Yeah, but 18 now belongs to a captain and Pro Bowler.

 

[Keyser Söze]

Scott better give Jones #99

It Is What It Is » Patriots release new numerical roster, with some interesting decisions
New numbers plus the history of each number. Dennard got Rodney's old number. Tavon Wilson got Ellis Hobbs' old number, which was worn by Molden last year. Hopefully he's burned in the Super Bowl less often than those two. Lloyd has now had 5 different numbers, all in the 80s.

33 (Faulk), 93 (Carter), and 44 (Ihedigbo) are all available.

 

[Kontradiction]

Loving the 88 for Lloyd. It fits him well.

 

[Urgent]

Lloyd wore #85 in the past. He might be able to get that back this season if he wants it.

Yeah, sort of sad to see someone else in #72.

 

[Spergon Wynn]

Lloyd wore #85 in the past. He might be able to get that back this season if he wants it.

Someone was ahead of the curve:

Jersey change: Lloyd to 85 - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

I liked #88 on Lloyd. Hopefully Brady trusts this #85 a little bit more.

 

[jah]

I think Lloyd should have kept 88, but what are ya gonna do...

 

[patriot.de]

hope hightower will get another number

 

[Pape]

Interesting to note that number 93 wasnt issued. Thinking that it hasnt been assigned to anyone yet means the Pats are still thinking that Andre Carter might make a return to Foxboro.

 

[jah]

hope hightower will get another number

According to my 53 man prediction, he'll probably get stuck with 58, which is meh. Or he could take a number in the 90s.

Maybe they're holding on to 88 for the return of Sam Aiken or Terry Glenn ...

I'm pretty sure it's a case of their site being down. If it required a subscription there would be a page asking you to subscribe.

I'm lost on the numbers thing, they're all just numbers to me. [maybe 00 or 69, but...]

I miss the poster who knew all the tight numbers. I'm lost without his guidance.

As a football fan, I try to find meaning in even the most trivial aspects of the game.
