A Look At Which NFL Players Have Changed Their Uniform Numbers This Offseason

Tuesday, May 25, 2021Wednesday, June 9, 20213 min read Andrew Lind

In April, NFL owners approved a proposal that will allow running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, linebackers and defensive backs to wear a wider range of uniform numbers moving forward.

Since then, dozens of players have made the decision to ditch their old number in favor of a new one, oftentimes returning to what they wore in college or high school. Others have picked an entirely new digit altogether.

League rules stipulate that any player who wants to switch his number for the upcoming season is required to buy out the existing inventory of jerseys and t-shirts from league distributors. In some cases, players are paying in the mid-to-upper six figures to change their number, though it would come at no cost had they waited another year.

With that said, we’ve compiled a list of players who have changed numbers this offseason, as well as their previous number for comparison. It’s worth noting this list only notes the players who are taking advantage of the rule change and not those who are simply switching to a number that was otherwise permitted.
