Were running out? We will end up having 31 unused numbers. Practice squad guys numbers dont matter.
yeah but 1-19 can only be worn by WR, QB, K, P
It still wont matter, because numbers only get retired once every decade+. Every other number that is taken right now will be recycled when that player leaves.
Retiring 52 is fine because we still have every other LB eligible number from 40-59 available except 42. Retiring 21 is fine because RB's can wear 20-49, and only 34, 37, 39, and 42 are retired. That leaves 25 numbers for RB's and DB's.
Even retiring 97 is fine. We still have 90-96 and 98-99 available, as well as the numbers in the 50's-70's that DL can wear.
There is plenty of room for all positions, even with the restrictions.
