CeeDee Lamb to wear 88

[John813]

Curious if anyone would care if 8, 12, 22 or 74 gets reissued.

And this isn't a legend of Dez post but more so about, "its a freaking number".

 

[GINeric]

People are way too serious over a jersey number. It's not like they UNretired a number of a greatest of all time player. It's a damn jersey number. Life will continue.

 

[Kevinicus]

Please stop it.

We know he wanted #10. He is having it forced on him.

He was going to wear 10 and Jerry stepped in.

Is it forced, or did Jerry ask him for a favor?

 

[WillieBeamen]

Why cant 88 not be given out like 8, 12, 22, and 74?

 

[The Quest for Six]

If Lamb wanted the number 10 and it's available, then he should be allowed to wear it, Jerry and the Cowboys need to stop forcing 88 on receivers as if it's the end all be all....

I remember being excited when they announced Dez was going to wear the number, but this to me is different because one of the first things CeeDee talked about was his number and it seems it is forced on him. Now, I may be wrong and maybe he thought about it and changed his mind because of the tradition of the number and that would be fine. Just not forced please!

Horrible choice! I'm not buying another 88 jersey

You need to get one with a removable name plate.

Imagine your first act as a player for the Dallas Cowboys is telling Jerry Jones you won’t do something for him.

Especially after he drops that story on you.

 

[Joe Realist]

why? ugh

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Disrespectful

Retiring 88 may help Pearson's HoF chances. You can't say they don't notice how willingly Jerry is giving it out to whoever wants it.

HAHA you win!

Oh no. The owner of the team and the guy that signs his check suggested he wear 88 and he said yes. As any employee would. You need to stop. I thought my ex complained about everything. But you. Wow.

Giving out 88 to other players has absolutely no bearing on Pearson getting in the HOF or not. Voters don't care about things like that, and if they do then they need to lose their voting rights.

How do you think Lucky Whitehead got that nickname?

It won’t just be me complaining about it..

 

[KingintheNorth]

Jerry will get what he wants. Jerry's teammate who recently died wore #88, and Jerry wants to honor his friend. I get it.

Yep, zero issue with an owner slash GM forcing a player to wear a number he didn't want.

Just like every other NFL team.

 

[jazzcat22]

So does this mean Dez is out and now Austin's return is back in play?

 

[Teague31]

I absolutely do not care about hurting Dez’s “feelings”. But I still don’t like the idea of Jerry forcing this on Lamb
