Well not yet. He is changing numbers to #87 until he gets cut.

It kept Martin hanging on the roster so long he may hope he will hang on the roster much longer than he should.


Also Hodge has switched from #55 to #52.

Packers.com has the story.

Switching numbers
Two Packers are changing their uniform numbers for the upcoming season.
Wide receiver Robert Ferguson, who has worn No. 89 for his first six seasons with the Packers, is switching to No. 87.

Meanwhile, linebacker Abdul Hodge, who wore No. 55 last season as a rookie, is changing to No. 52. Hodge wore No. 52 in high school in Florida and in college at Iowa, and it's the number his younger brother, Elijah, wears as a linebacker for the Wisconsin Badgers.

I'm fine with no more 89.


I was all excited when I read the title. 87 is a great number for Fergie. The number of underacheivers it seems

Robert Brooks wore 87 and was not an underachiever. He had to call it quites early because of injury.

Brooks seemed to just disappear, I always wondered where he went...

I think maybe he was talking about Martin... worlds of potential never really tapped due to injury and what not:)

Probably more to do with Ferggy wanting a "Fresh start" without the baggage of his injury history.

Falling short of getting that fresh start with a new team, he decides to do it with a new number. If I'm not mistaken, Jerry Porter did the same thing with the Raiders this year,

That is what I think it was, but what iffffffff a certain non packer, wants to be #89 if he were to be traded to the packers
