Why wait so long? Seriously. Maybe this shows my ignorance re Steeler norms but, ?????
"The Steelers now have three jersey numbers retired, including Ernie Stautner (#70) and Joe Greene (#75)."I don't think the Steelers ever retired numbers before this.
They have a bunch of unofficially retired numbers and 32 was one of them. Bradshaw 12, Franco 32, Bettis 36, Troy P. 43, Blount 47, Webster 53, Lambert 58, Ham 59, Ernie Holmes 63, LC Greenwood 68, and Hines Ward 86 have not been handed out since that player has worn it. They won't hand these numbers out. I am sure 7 is now on the list too. They have no problem handing out 82 and 88, though.I don't think the Steelers ever retired numbers before this.
Don't they have a player named Najee Harris? Would they just trade him?It’s about time… but I prefer the ring of honor as opposed to retiring a number. Why not just retire the name, and then the Steelers couldn’t ever have someone named Harris?
Or give him the option to change his name? Maybe replace names with the last four of their SSN?Don't they have a player named Najee Harris? Would they just trade him?
Or maybe let him change it to a a sponsor that offer the highest bid? Najee Iron City has a certain ring to it!Or give him the option to change his name? Maybe replace names with the last four of their SSN?
