Sooo.......which player gets to wear the #10 jersey?

[OBX4SKINS]

Sooo....Gaffney now wears the #10 jersey, which is RG3's number also, so who get the number? I believe it is customary for a player to offer some sort of compensation to another player if you take his number, so if you were RG3, what would you give Gaffney for the #10? I heard on Mike & Mike this week players have given vacations, cars, college educations for their kids, etc. to other players for their number. Hmmm.

[RFK Lives]

Hmmm...Gaffney is a serviceable wideout but Hankerson should be back and Moss in the slot and a true #1 coming to town likely via FA. Perhaps RGIII should just let Gaffney know I can make you look better than you really are, as in I can look your way or not look your way.

I'm sure they can work something out. Ownership and marketing will make sure RGIII gets the #10.

Gaffney wants to make the team right?

[Burgold]

It's Gaffney's right now. Griffin, if we get him, is a rookie. The team and its vets should not cater and bow to him. We don't need swelled heads. Now, if Griff wants to buy the rights to that number that's fine, but it's Gaffney's to give or sell.

Added to that. Griffin needs to carry towels, be made to sing, and taped to a flagpost at some point during minicamp.

RG3 seems like a guy who doesn't care about the number, I could see him just moving over another number unless it really meant a lot to him sentimentally, of course I don't know him personally so this is just based on assumptions about his personality. I agree with RFK Lives, the ownership and marketing will want him to grab number 10 if he so wants, so it's all up to what he wants, it might be a gesture of good faith to move over for an existing and veteran player.

My prediction is RG3 will buy the #10 jersey from Gaff, if he wants to buy and Gaff wants to sell it. Otherwise, RG3 will wear the #3.

[jflow78]

Yeah, Griffin doesn't strike me as the type of guy that will come in and ask a vet to change his number. I'd say, since the NFL won't let him put Griffin III on the back of his jersey, Griffin and the # 3 would be awesome.

Which means Jonathan Crompton is going to have to give that #3 up.

I agree Burg. And Griffin also strikes me as the type to not even care about his # enough to offer the money for it, he seems too humble for that. I have nothing to base it on, but I have this gut feeling he's going to wear #11 and Aldrick may not be back.

[BLEED-B&G]

RG should switch to number three and put R Griffin on his nameplate

R. Griffin
3

jf- is that confirmed that they wont allow the "III"?

that's my belief.

Personally I think #3 would make a better logo for any endorsements (assuming he'll get some). RG3.

But we all thought Kerrigan was going to get his college number, and he didn't. So.....there you go.

[Redskins4ever]

I would expect Griffin to claim another # jersey. Gaffney has worn #10 since his days at Florida. If Rg3 wants #10, then he'll have to buy it from Gaffney.

I don't think RG3 is like that and I wouldn't want him to do that.

Full legal name permitted RT @seattlevandal: @NFLprguy will NFL let RG3 wear "Griffin III" on jersey, or are roman numerals against rules?

Perfect fit
