Don't think that is going to work.

No more numbers in the 20s are available.

Number 28 is a retired number which belonged to Abner Haynes

Right now the team has a few players sharing numbers. When I was at camp I was like ”why is Darwin Thompson on defense” looked at camp roster and there are 2 #25s.

After cuts, a few guys will have number changes.

Chiefs have these numbers retired - 3, 16, 18, 28, 33, 36, 58, 63, 78, and 86.

Without going out and looking them up, can you name each player that the Chiefs retired the number for.

I got 70%.

Anyway limited set of numbers for a 90 man roster so I can see the need to duplicate.

Always thought they duplicated with a defensive and offensive player but I see Darius Harris and Darron Lee also share #50.

3 - Jan
16 - Lenny
18 - Emmitt Thomas
28 - Abner Haynes
33 - Stone Johnson
36 - Mack Lee Hill
58 - DT
63 - Willie
78 - Bobby
86 - Buck

Stone Johnson and Mack Lee Hill died during preseason then the team retired their numbers. Young franchise mistake. 5 of those numbers are legit, the others are meh.

Good job!

I've always thought teams should not retire numbers, they should instead just honor them.

When I see the numbers worn again, it helps remind me of the former great players that have played before.

I've been watching full games from last season from the Jets and watching Morris as much as possible.

I still think he was a good signing for the Chiefs but although he had 57 tackles last season he really tries to avoid run support when possible.

Maybe that is a good thing for a CB? He stays out on his island, covers the WR, and tackles him when he needs.

Why the **** don't WRs wear numbers in the 80s anymore? Did Keyshawn Johnson just decide to break the mold one day and then everybody was like, "Yeah, seems like a good idea!"

Personally, I think it looks like trash. Might be just me, though.

I suspect it was at first out of necessity. You had WRs and TEs sharing the 80s series (TE weren't allowed 40 series yet), some numbers had been retired, and just trying to find the needed numbers.

I kind of like it. It is very possible this year that we have no WR with an 80s number.

I dunno, this still burns me up just to see it, even for how tangential it is.

self entitled arrogance and nepotism personified

I remember reading a quote back when Von Miller was drafted saying he modeled his game after Derrick Thomas and chose his number due to that.

By the way, how in the hell is 89 not retired?

Personally, I think the total opposite but I was also born in 1996. 80s just make WRs look fat and old

Or 68?

Personally, I think they should allow those numbers to be worn if they feel so inclined, but put some type of marking on it to show it's a team HoF number.
