If we were to retire more, I'd expect #44, 28, 81, 7 but they're not going to be worn regardless of he "officialness" of the retirement.
I'm not sure about the Jason Campbell/Doug Williams "permission" story. JC was a big fan of DW and I think it was more of a courtesy/honor if he did ask...nothing official. We've had other players wear #17 since Williams...John Friesz, Danny Wuerffel and I remember some punter or kicker too.

i had heard gibbs made campbell ask williams before he would allow him to wear #17. that's why i thought it was weird, because wuerffel was fresh in my mind. set me straight
