How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

How much will Jason Taylor pay Andre Carter for the #99?
I'm guessing $99k.


Will Jason Taylor use this oppurtunity with the Redskins to spring board into politics? Hmmmmmm.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

$99,000? You gotta be kidding me.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

Nice guess there Lux. I'm thinking if Taylor does pay Carter for 99 instead of switching to a new number, it'd be a relatively low amount for a football player, like 20-30 grand.

There's a lot of other things Carter could ask for as well. He could pull a nice guy move and ask Taylor to put a downpayment on a home for someone who needs it like Ahman Green and that safety for the Texans.

He could pull a Jeff Feagles and ask for Taylor to pay the entire cost for his family to take a nice vacation somewhere, like Feagles did to either Manning or Burress when one of the two came to the Giants.

Or he could pull a different Jeff Feagles and ask Taylor to pay to put in an entire new kitchen in his home, like Feagles did to either Manning or Burress so they could have his jersey number. One of the two had to pay for his family vacation, the other of the two paid for his new kitchen.

Jason Taylor is wearing #55 at practice today, but that doesn't necessarily mean that will be his new number.

Story on Redskins.com [url=http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=36909]Training Camp Report: Tuesday[/url] says he will wear #55 permanently..

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

I'm kinda digging #55.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

Glad Carter is keeping #99. There's probably some fans with his jerseys, plus, he's been on the team longer.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

[quote=Mattyk72;458397]I'm kinda digging #55.[/quote]
As long as he doesn't nick name himself "Double Nickles" it will be OK.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

It's official that Taylor will be #55. Redskins.com reports that this is permanent.

Interestingly, Zach Thomas new number in Dallas is #55.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

[url=http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/index.nsf/Documents/0-jers-nums]Player Numbers by Position[/url]

Apperently that means he's gonna have to be officially listed as a LB.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

He's going to be listed as LB/DE.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

I think the Rookie Rob Jackson DE should give the number up to the old man. It would be nice to have two book Ends....98/\99. Kinda like our new WR 11/\12.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

#55 is number requested by Taylor. Evidently his wife suggested the change from 99 and Taylor likes double numbers. He was limited in choice do to position requirements. Rian Wallace gave up the number for Taylor and took
the #57.

Still find in interesting that Taylor and Zach Thomas will have same number.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

I would have made him give me dancing lessons for the number. ;)

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

Regardless of what number he ends up with, I'm excited that he's with the Skins. Let's hope it works out for the best. Check out this interview with him on comcastsportsnet.com. There's a bunch of other interesting interviews as well.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

Does anyone know where I could get a replithentic, or authentic #55 Taylor jersey? (I am not a fan of replica's...don't like the screened on numbers).

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

My guess is shortly you will see the authentic or replithentic in Redskin stores or online.
Contact a Redskins store and see if they know.

that's like the wizards haywood (sp?).. he changed numbers 3 times in 3 years (he was wearing 00 when arenas came in, and the nba wouldn't let the team have a 0 and a 00).

generally about 20-35k is the average payout for a guy with a multi-million deal.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

I like that he is going with a new number, it would be weird to see Carter wearing something else, but I would have liked to see the two ends wearing 98 and 99... My favorite part of the interview yesterday was when he said "no more dancing, unless its celebrating big plays!" I also loved how Clinton said he was going to learn some new dance moves from JT for all the end zone celebrations. HAIL THE Z Shades!

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

It wouldn't have been smart for Taylor to buy his number. Why spend all that money, for what, 1 maybe 2 years of wearing it?

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

\Players are very superstitious about that kind of stuff, and the kind of money JT has throught football, plus the money he is going to have when he goes to hollywood will be nothing to a rich legend like him.

Side note: I would really like to know why Sean Taylor switched numbers.olle

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

[QUOTE=LandrySlice;458502]Side note: I would really like to know why Sean Taylor switched numbers.olle[/QUOTE]

What switch are you referring to? He came in with 36, because Smoot had 21. Then, he switched back to 21 when Smoot left. Then, Smoot came back and his number was gone, lol. Now, I'll be surprised if any Redskin wears 21 again.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

But why did Taylor want 21???? He wore 26 in college, i just want to know why he wanted 21 in the first place. And I am pretty sure no one is ever going to wear the number again either, and I am still suprised they haven't announced that the team is going to retire his number.

They don't retire numbers. The equipment manager simply doesn't give out some of them like 81,28, etc...

Portis was/is 26, so that was out of the question for Taylor. I think I remember reading somewhere that he wore 21 in High School, but I'm not sure.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

Im pretty certian that ST did it in honor of deion sanders.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

Also I got a email from a miami fan that got jasontaylor55.com and 55jasontaylor.com. JT's current website is jasontaylor99.com

Im wondering about some other combinations...

Actually there is a Jersey # that is retired for the Redskins and that # is 33 for Sammy Baugh.. all the others like 28,81 just arent handed out as far as i know

I'm not sure if a person's name can be copyrighted, but I wouldn't be surprised if the NFLPA does that (for jerseys, etc.). If it's copyrighted, then the squatter might not have a right to purchase/use that domain.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

I highly doubt that he would wear 21 to honor Sanders, but I could be wrong. I am also confident that he did not wear 21 in high school. A guy I know who was close to Sean says that he just thought it was a way better number then 36, and once Smoot was gone he wanted it. i would love to know the truth behind this!

Yeah i kinda wonder that too. But Taylor and Jason are about as common of names as they get.

I dont know if i could jack someones webname for ransome, but some Redskin v Cowboy tickets would be nice. Plus it seems like his website is just promoting his likeness and selling stuff. Nothing wrong with that, but Chris Cooly's at least has a blog.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

Mel Kaufman wasn't retired!?
Interesting Jason Taylor didn't try to buy #99, but it's probably a good indication of the man he is and how he respects the game. I'm extremely pleased with the front office in this horrible situation losing Daniels for the year. Couldn't have turned out better. All Jason Taylor has to do is turn out a better season than TJ Duckett did for us a few years back... I have faith. Can't believe I'm saying this... "great job Vinny!"

I liked Taylor's reason for not making a deal for 99. Said he respects his time in Miami and 99 belongs to the 'Phins fans/team. To me, that's just seriously good karma.

I wasn't thrilled with the move initially (thought a 2nd was a bit high for a rent a player), but I am fast becoming enamored of this guy. We'll see how it plays out.

Re: How much will Taylor pay Andre Carter for #99?
 

For being the Defensive player of the Year and a probable HOFer, Jason Taylor seems to be a very humble man.

I like that. We seem to get players with good character, even post-Gibbs.

Unlike fans of many other teams, we can actually be proud to be Redskins fans for more than wins.

JT does a ton of stuff in the community as well. He's a quality dude.
