New Numbers: Sean Taylor #36.. didn't Timmy Smith retire that? haha

"One minor drama during Gibbs's first minicamp was Clinton Portis's pursuit of jersey No. 26 from safety Ifeanyi Ohalete. Portis, who signed an eight-year, $50 million contract with the Redskins, considered offering Ohalete money before challenging the safety to a boxing match. Portis will wear No. 35 unless he can change Ohalete's mind."

here's the list of all the new players' tentative numbers... Portis' (#35) could change and Thrash's (#3) definitely will...

NOOO WAAYYY!! :headbange

I never thought about before but I am suprised we don't have a few more officially retired numbers. I really would have thought Theismann, Riggins, and Monk's number would already have been "officially" retired.

I agree...at least Riggins and Monks. Yeah..I'm also going to say JT as well, because I feel like since he ended his career with that leg injury, we haven't had a QB like him since.

Oahlete and Portis: Enough bitching. Start boxing.

Give Timmy some slack he won us a Super Bowl. lol I dont know about retiring numbers. I mean if you retire all the greats you eventually wont have but a handful of numbers. Granted just no one can wear 44, 7, 81 etc. But I still like to see the numbers out their and kind of relive the glory days. Take 17 it has been a while since have seen that out on the field (i think). It was good to see it out even if it was Wurfell. Maybe they could retire the jerseys and freeze the number for 10-20 years. Ok now you can throw bricks at me.
