UPDATE: Portis Will Not Be Changing To #21

Has anyone heard anything new on this?

The Redskins don't officially retire numbers. He will go in the ring of fame and the number will go out of circulation forever. Maybe in light of these circumstances they will change the procedure but either way other then CP we will never see another #21 on the Redskins.

Hate to disagree.
The Number #33 is Retired. Period. It's the only Redskins Number Officially Retired.

peace and Hail Skins

I thought I heard CP would be switching to #21 for good, not just for this game.

Are you sure that Gibbs and Co. will allow portis to switch his # so soon?

I would be in favor of that. CP was his bud and it would be a great way to honor him in addition to giving us fans a way to continually honor ST as well.

I hope it's just for one game or the rest of the season. I'd still like the number #21 retired along with the #9 and #44 as well.

I'd like to find out if this is confirmed. No word from anyone but Chick Hernandez at this point if I'm correct, and that might be him interpreting CP's desire to do this, not the fact that it's going to happen.

I'm a little skeptical, I've heard nothing new about this since the initial report by Chick Hernandez yesterday...maybe Portis knee jerked and told Chick that he was going to do that and then changed his mind or had the idea nixed by Gibbs...

If he did switch numbers though it wouldn't bother me...

lol...BrudLee's post beat me to the punch...
