I wonder why they duplicate when they have free spaces... Why give Wesley Johnson 67 when you already have one on teh team... what's wrong with 61-63? Or McCullers gets 74 when there's one on offense.

Is that a sign to last year's rooks...? You're fired soon!

[skyhawk]

I read the day after the draft that Shazier was 56. From a trusted reporter too. What gives?

[flippy]

Who's brave enough or rich enough to go out and buy some rookie jerseys already?

Well (at least) for #63, I think that was Dawson's old number. I don't think the Steelers officially retire numbers, but I know they have unofficially retired some numbers (I don't see people wearing 75, #12, etc.)

I hate that #10. It needs to be scrapped.

Only number officially retired is #70, but yes, other numbers of our best players including #1, #12, #32, #36, #52, #58, #59, #63, #75, and it looks like #86 now are not given out. Did I miss any? I thought #47 was one too... So the new ones are Bettis, Dawson, and Ward.......I personally think #26 shouldn't be issued either...Would not issue #26 before #86, imo.

Aaron Smith's #, huh?

Aaron Smith's #, huh?

Or Kevin Greene's, for that matter.
