GREAT NEWS!

I'm sure he knows that. He can have #26 now. #22 will probably be available too.

Kris Jenkins and a new Center next on the list.

I see nothing wrong with him wearing #21. I'm sorry, but it's time to move on people.

I'll never move on. That number should not be worn in B&G again!

BTW- Danny would never allow it.

The Early Lead - Should O.J. Atogwe, or any other Redskins player, wear No. 21?

ps...poll?

With ST's locker enshrined at Fed Ex....hard to imagine anyone else ever wearing # 21 on the field.

Why don't we hand out #28, 44, 81, 7 and 33 then. C'mon, Sammy isn't around anymore either and heck, he played half a century ago. Move on!

Are you seriously comparing the career of Sean Taylor to those other Hall of Fame greats? Really? Am I missing something? Did Sean Taylor make the Hall of Fame? Was he even remotely close? Hell, did he even make a All-Pro once? Nope. He wasn't as good as you all make him out to be. Sure, his death was tragic and it ended a person's life in his prime, but let's not pump him up to be something he wasn't. (a legend)

I think Atogwe has every right to wear the number considering the guy wore #21 in college and in the pros. (i know he's said he's not wearing it though)

edit: I like the signing, and hopefully it works a lot better than the Archuletta signing...lol

To alot of people Taylor was the best Redskin they have ever seen play the game. People under 25 didn't really get to enjoy D Green let alone any of the others. Also his death had a very large impact on the team/community. I dont think players or fans would appreciate another player wearing that number.

No, no and yes.

I was just using your line of thought...if a great player has died and some time has passed, forget about him and hand out his number!

All that I listed + #21 should stay in the Ring of Honor and off the field. There's probably a few more too. We roster 52 guys, we can afford to put a dozen out of service if warranted.

Love the Atogwe signing, but Jenkins? That guy hasn't made it through even half a season since 2008. I would only offer an incentive laden contract that has escalators for games active.
