Sean Taylor has died...

So, does the team retire jersey #21?

Hard to say. Redskins have many, many great players that they won't use the number but it's not officially retired, Jerg's #9, Riggin's #44 and until they made a mistake that cost them Bobby Mitchell in the front office the #43

Sammy Baugh's #33 is the only Officially Retired Redskins' number.

Redskins please don't let someone wear Sean Taylor's Number. The #21 is Sean Taylors!

Hails Skins and RIP Sean Taylor [my favorite current Redskin]

The saddest thing about this whole situation is that DESPITE HIS ISSUES, which the media is so eager to report....he wasn't out doing the crazy things which put peoples live's in jeporady....He was at home with his family and he killed trying to protect his family.....he worked hard to get to this level of professional athletics and someone who obviously refuses to want to work for anything steps on and ends his life far too early....

Well said.

God bless his daughter, his girlfriend, his family, and those players who were with him throughout his career and all those who knew this young man......

Unbelievable. I went to bed late after reading every possible update and went to sleep encouraged. My wife just woke me to share the tragic news. I last felt this way when Dale Earnhardt Sr. was killed in Daytona. My heart and prayers go out to the Taylor family. God bless you Sean, we'll all miss you bro'.

Due to the unprecedented nature of this tragic event....I believe that it is an absolute necessity that Sean's jersey be retired....I understand that there were other greats whose numbers aren't officially retired but here is a young man who was gunned down in his home trying to protect his family....I say the word hero with some trepidation due to the current state of affairs in the Middle East....but at the very minimum he was serving as a hero to his family at the time...he was killed in the line of duty of being a protector of his family....If not this week....I would definitely want to see his number retired at the first home game of next year....

So, does the team retire jersey #21?

What will the team do financially for his family, especially his daughter? Can they at least put together a college fund or something?

RIP Sean

Utterly tragic!!!! I cannot even put to words what I am feeling about this incident.

RIP 21, RIP!

ST was not a poor man. He must have several mil laying around. Unfortunately, that kind of thing has a tendency to get ugly when the family scrambles for the loot. Hopefully, that will not be the case.

Totally damn senseless. I am sad. Very sad. His poor daughter.
