Retire #21

Does anyone know what the steps are to have a players number retired? Is there a public outcry that should be made? I just want to ensure that some douche (ie Deion Sanders) never gets to adorn #21 for the washington redskins

I could never see anyone wear that jersey number ever again. So why not retire it.

interesting you said that, i had just changed my signature....

Couldn't agree more. #21 is Sean Taylor's. Always will be.

I agree. Hopefully the Redskins do the right thing and retire Sean Taylor's #21 jersey.

Retire #21 and put him in the ring of honor asap,like next year so nobody gets a chance to forget the memories that he gave us!

Why not do it at the Bears game?

Well, the only number the Skins have officially retired is 33. While Taylor was a good player, I can think of many guys ahead of him in line to get the official retirement (44, 28, 9, 81 etc, etc etc)

The Redskins could just make #21 "unavailable" pending any formal retirement ceremony...although I doubt any other player would want to wear it.

I think the point is, Taylor didn't have the chance to ascend to the level of the guys you mentioned(although, he was well on his way).

Also, all of the guys you mentioned are old men, or at least will be at some point. Sean Taylor will never have that opportunity...
