Number allocations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Number_System#Number_allocations)
* Quarterbacks: 1-19
* Running backs: 20-49
* Wide receivers: 80-89, 10-19 if all are taken
* Tight ends: 80-89, 10-19 or 40-49 if all are taken
* Centers: 50-59, 60-79 if all are taken
* Offensive linemen: 60-79
* Defensive linemen: 60-79 and 90-99
* Linebackers: 50-59 and 90-99
* Defensive backs: 20-49
* Placekickers and punters: 1-19
p.s. The NFL is currently deciding whether the number system is necessary, and if not, to what extent players should be free to choose their numbers.

Also, once a number has been issued to a player, they won't take it away unless its a move from OL to TE or vice versa. Cooley doesn't NEED to change his number, therefore he most likely won't.

Yeah, Reggie Bush is trying to wear 5 this season. Part of what the owners talk about is whether or not the system is still necessary.

Only reason to change is if The Daniel wanted to make some more money selling new shirts!
Any truth to the rumour the doorbell at la mansion Snyder doesn't go "ding-Dong", it goes "Ca-Ching!"?

I think Bush's request has been turned down

According to Vic Carrucci at NFL.com, it has. In fact, the owners are apparently unlikely to change the uniform numbering system this year.
Hallelujah. I like it just fine the way it is.

What number will Kyle Turley wear? KC says they are bringing him in as a TE.

Dan Patrick had a nifty little way of getting around the NFL's numbering rule -- just say Reggie Bush is the 4th string quarterback -- and voila! He gets his #5 jersey!

TEs have the most flexibility when it comes to jersey #'s, they can wear
#80's, #40's, and even #10-#19, just as recievers do.
