According to the quote above, the player has the option of buying up the unsold jerseys with the old number. Clark said he offered to do that, and the NFL never got back to him.

"They kind of gave me the run-around about it -- if you do change a number after having it so long and there are jerseys made, you have to buy the other ones. I tried to do that, but they never really got back with me. It is a veteran rule, about having a number for so long. When you go to another team, it's a little different.
