Mayo's #?

[pats1]

Its unlikely that they will assign anyone to 91 unless absolutely necessary, out of respect for Marquise Hill.

This year, maybe. But anything beyond this year, no. That's essentially retiring it.

I should have been clearer. But that is essentially what I meant.

 

[The 12th Man]

Not to change the topic too much, but I believe #24 is still available for that certain someone IF the Pats bring him back this year.

Mayo should wear #55, so we can call him Cinco Cinco de Mayo.

Now that is excellent !! Good one !

 

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Slaughter is gone, so I say he will be 51...

 

[Kontradiction]

51 or 91 would both be good numbers for Mayo.

 

[godef]

yeash, the need some more numbers.

Hey, some refs have had three digit numbers for years. How about allowing 100-199 (hopefully that 1 won't get too cramped). So far as determing what 100+ numbers are valid for what positions, just ignore the leading 1. Linebackers can be 50-59 or they can be 150-159. This will even work for the teens... 19 becomes 9, 12 becomes 2, so the refs don't have to think "OK I see a leading 1 but it's a two digit number..." just simply drop any leading 1.

Barrett's number is 51, and Bo was 51 at Nebraska, so I think he's probably the most likely candidate for that number. I'd like to see Mayo in 52, but he would have to get the number from Alexander, and I don't really think Mayo cares. He'll wear what ever they give him.

That's good!

As mentioned 51 became available when Slaughter was released the other day and I think he will be issued that #. 91, 95 and 98 are also available.

 

[VJCPatriot]

How about #98? A number in the 50's would be better but there are so many retired that it's ridiculous. I like #59 but that's taken right?

Victor Hobson. Maybe I should send an email to Alexander asking if he'll give 52 to Mayo, lol.

 

[PYPER]

Is #56 retired (Tippet)?


I think he should take #57. Thats a good number

 

[AllabouttheVinces]

Why not 47?

56 is not technically retired, but the Pats haven't issued it to anybody in awhile, maybe even since Tippett.

57 is retired. Steve Nelson says hi.

 

[pats1]

Why not 47?

Because he can't wear it in the regular season.

 

[slash83]

Why not 47?

Dont wana be reminded of Ryan Claridge...

 

[reflexblue]

Why not 47?

Thats a collage #. whats up with #51?

 

[Dfresh429]

As per Mike Reiss, Mayo will wear #51.

 

[bradmahn]

That's not necessarily true. TBC wore 48 from '03 to '05. I think the way it works is if there are enough linemen and linebackers on the roster, the 40s become available for linebackers.
