New players uniform numbers [Merge]

If he does, don't we have a ton of cap room next year?

Honestly I don't know. I just got caught up with this years cap lol.

[House]

We could franchise him to work out a deal

Oh I know there's a million possibilities. I just think he's got potential and would love it if he reached it here with us and stayed long term.

Don't take it to the bank, but I think we should be somewhere near 40 million under the cap again

Oh your not alone I'm hoping for the same I really like DHB wanted us to grab him once I seem he was released I liked him alot in the draft he just went to the dump known as the raiders

Yeah somewhere around ther I believe it may be a little less but basically your right

[corgi]

Geez Walden what were you thinking picking 93!? I told you that you are only allowed to wear π !

[trueblueblood]

Yeah somewhere around ther I believe it may be a little less but basically your right

Sounds good to me

[Colts_Fan12]

Sounds good to me

I agree love having cap space makes the offseason so much fun

[CanuckColt]

No way should they allow Walden to wear 93... Smack in the face to Freeney

Absolutely right!  Get that 93 off him, like yesterday!

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

Hopefully DHB is trying to channel his inner Tim Brown.

I'd rather him contrast his "brick hands" with domination like a young T.O. minus the divaness.

LaRon Landry 30

 

DIRTY 30!

[ED29_1659yards]

  :heh: Im angry that Vick Ballard is wearing #33, dishonoring Dominic Rhodes legacy. He helped us win a bowl...

[JoKeR]

Rhodes was blip on the radar compared to what D. Free did for us.

[ar1888]

Bob sanders was also a special player. The reason were not having this conversation about 21 is that bob never played. Faulk was a great player, but, if I'm correct, only played a couple seasons for us

5 years. 94-98 seasons. He left on bad terms, but he was a great player.

Yeah I Agree that Faulk is one of the better rbs ever. I started following the colts in 98, I was only 6 so I did the best I could lol

[HtownColt]

@StampedeBlue: RT @TribStarTJames: OLB Erik Walden is the new #93. No pressure.

[adfisher870]

sorry if this has already been posted just read this on twitter shocked walden picked 93 those are some big shoes to fill

[DILLIGAFER]

i wouldnt have touched #93 with a ten ft pole.

It's a number. Who cares? Yes I know it was Freeney's, but it's still just a number.

[Malakai432]

Maybe it will inspire him or something lol.

[ColtJ82]

He didn't choose 93; 93 chose him  :yeahright: 

[Tark The Shark]

He wants to have the same number he had in GB. 

 

Makes sense.

[In Luck We Trust]

 prob wont matter anyway, when freeney retires, the colts will prob retire that number! i mean he is the sack leader for the indianapolis colts with 107.5 sacks. 

[lollygagger8]

Already posted

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

If he chose it then he is obviously trolling all the Colts fans who doubt him. Good.

I figure everyone is taking notice #93, but it takes, to put it properly, "some confidence", to wear old number 78. You better be ready to ball with that number on. ;)

[JoKeR]

Does this guy have a Twitter account? Blow that thing up.

[NewEra]

Doesn't really bother me. It's just a #

[PrincetonTiger]

if this bothered me I would have   when Mike Roberg, Pierre Garcon and Weslye Saunders wore #85

[RealityIsLuck]

[Narcosys]

I personally would care none percent, if anyone decided to wear 18 again.

The Chicago Bears were told by the NFL you can't retire anymore numbers. So they will have great players numbers used till the end of time.

The number doesn't make the guy who wore it. It's just a number lol.

So what's the limit? How close are we in numbers retired to the bears?

What's wrong with 78?

[NewEra]

Tarik Glen? Maybe saying he was our pro bowl linemen for the offense as was freeney to the defense? Just spit balling ;)

[House]

No clue really. I live near Chicago so I heard them discussing it on there when Urlacher retired. And that's where I got that story from.

[Fx Stryker]

We have seven officially retired. Unitas, Young, Moore, Donovan, Parker, Berry, Marchetti. Peyton will make it 8 numbers, but he hasn't been officially retired yet.

 

The Bears have 13 retired.

[Warhorse]

Announcer: Man, can that kid run......reminds me of #32..Edge.

 

Color guy: Yea....#112 sure has those fresh legs

 

Announcer: Ooooooo, that was a devastating hit by #152. Man did he crush him. Sort of Ironic that #52, Clay Mathews use to play that way.

[BlueShoe]

Huge shoes to fill.

[schwamm]

Not really that close, but consider that there will be 90 players at camp every year, positional restrictions to numbers available, only 101 possible number combinations to wear (including 0 and 00, and how often do those get used?), and however many are retired... Doesn't leave that many options. Scrubs might end up sharing a number, but I can't imagine any WANT to if they have the choice.

[jemack]

It's a number. Who cares? Yes I know it was Freeney's, but it's still just a number.

So, if 18, 88, 19, 82, or 20 yrs from now, 12 is given to another player, that's cool with you? Thank God for Jim Irsay and tradition.
