Numbers should be honored, but not retired.
1. You run out of numbers by retiring them.
2. I think it helps you remember the player by seeing the jersey number worn again.
3. We have the Ring of Honor with the number which helps us remember.
4. Hopefully there are many more years for the NFL and many more great players to come. Some new great player may want to wear #18 or #63, maybe even to proudly represent that past player.
5. Players that we want to remember, we always will, even though another player wears the number.
I would have voted to unretire them all, but always pay them honor and that number is not just given out for for 3rd string probable camp cut.
