[QUOTE="PackerTraxx, post: 14282, member: 146"] Some very good thoughts brought up here. I am not against retiring a number. The Bears seem to have gone overboard, but that's another story. Here is another thought. Perhaps make the number a "Number of Honor" or something like that. Where a player would have to earn the right to wear it.This could be done at the discretion of the team(management, coaches,players, etc.). Syracuse used to do a variation of this back when they were a college football power. They would promise a blue chip running back recruit #44 if they came there. That was the number which was worn by Jimmy Brown and Ernie Davis. In fact, if I remember correctly, that is the reason Larry Czonka or Floyd Little chose Syracuse. [/QUOTE]
