Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,
Interesting suggestion on how to handle it. For me, the whole idea of 'retiring' #'s is illogical since as you noted BB, there are only so many of them and over time...
Besides - I don't recall them ever 'retiring' Sean's number in the first place - have they? They simply haven't issued it to another player since he passed.
I don't really understand the 'No one should ever wear that # besides Sean Taylor' perspective which is usually given out as though it's some universal directive that, if you don't agree with, you're some kind of insensitive prick For me, I think it's about what Sean Taylor would want - and my guess is that he'd want someone like Landon Collins flying around the field as #21 , laying the wood to opposing players. Just a guess though. Nice job on the article!
