90 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 90?
90 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 90? With 90 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 90. We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are now less than 13 weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 90 days away. As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals. Who has worn No. 90? Cardinals players to wear No. 90 No. 90 currently belongs to undrafted rookie defensive line Patrick Jenkins, who joined the team before OTAs. Here is the full list. DL Patrick Jenkins (2025-?) DL Angelo Blackson (2024) DL Ben Stille (2023-2024) DL Rashard Lawrence (2021-2022) DL Domata Peko (2020) DL Jonathan Bullard (2019) DL Robert Nekmdiche (2016-2018) DL Cory Redding (2015) DL Darnell Dockett (2004-2013) DL Andre Wadsworth (1998-2000) DL Mark Campbell (1997) DL Keith McCants (1994-1995) DL Michael Brandon (1994) LB Tyronne Stowe (1991-1993) LB Eldonta Osbrone (1990) DL Karl Wilson (1989) RB Billy Cross (1951) RB Vic Schwall (1949-1950) We know that Dockett is the Cardinals' best at No. 90. He was a beast for a decade. Outside of him, Stowe, who was a productive linebacker, was probably the most impactful after Dockett. Wadsworth would have been good but his knees failed him.

90 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 90?
90 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 90? Who is the G.O.A.T. to wear No. 90 in a Texans' uniform? The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has won No. 90 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 90 No. 90 currently belongs to Sheldon Rankins, who returned to Houston on a one-year deal after being released by the Cincinnati Bengals earlier this offseason. He was Houston's best interior run defender in 2023 for a unit that finished top 15 in run defense en route to a first AFC South division title since 2019. Rankins nearly signed a long-term deal with the Texans following his 7.5 sack season, but the Bengals offered more. Following a lost season in the AFC North, Rankins hopes to be a long-term member of the Texans' success to close out his career, though Tim Settle is currently wearing his No. 98, so No. 90 will have to do for the upcoming campaign. While Rankins wears No. 90, he's only going to be in for a season, therefore eliminating him from being the best player to don the number. That doesn't mean the jersey hasn't been worn by some talentend prospects over the years. DL Sheldon Rankins (present) DE Ali Gaye (2023) DT Taylor Stallworth (2022) DT Ross Blacklock (2020-2021) LB Javedon Clowney (2014-2018) DL Terrell McClain (2012) DE Mario Williams (2006-2011) DL Jason Davis (2005) DL Terrance Martin (2003) DL Shawn Worthen (2002) Best Player: Mario Williams Clowney was one of the league's best run-stoppers during his five seasons in Houston, but Williams did it all. The NC State product quietly rose up draft boards into the No. 1 spot in 2006 and never looked back. Over his six years, Williams racked up 48 sacks, 85 tackles for loss, 10 forced fumbles and nine pass breakups. While the success carried over to Buffalo, resulting in a six-year contract, Williams helped the Texans become a promising team with realistic expectations. He was also the first star defensively on the line before J.J. Watt arrived in 2011.

Jaire Alexander #23 of the Green Bay Packers reacts to an interception during the first quarter against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Playoff game at AT&T Stadium on January 14, 2024 in Arlington, Texas. More Photo byNFL insider Jordan Schultz was the first to report that the Bills were the team who discussed a trade for Alexander earlier this offseason. He provided more details on the news. Read more: Packers Make Final Decision on Jaire Alexander: Report "Sources: The Packers and Bills held trade talks this offseason centered around CB Jaire Alexander, but talks ultimately fell through and Buffalo moved on," he wrote on X. "It's unclear if the Bills will revisit things now that Alexander has been released — especially since they spent a first-round pick on Maxwell Hairston — but they were a team that had shown real interest." Alexander has only been able to play in seven games each of the last two years. He has seen his career completely derailed by injuries. Last season in just seven games, Alexander showed why he's still so valued. He recorded 16 total tackles to go along with a fumble recovery, two interceptions, a defensive touchdown, and seven defended passes. Those numbers show what he's still capable of providing when healthy. For a team like Buffalo, who is a top-tier Super Bowl contender, adding Alexander could be the final piece of the puzzle. In fact, the Bills do have a need at the cornerback position. Read more: Lions Trade Idea Would Land Shedeur Sanders From Browns At 28 years old, Buffalo would be wise to take a chance on Alexander. Even though they did draft Maxwell Hairston, the former Green Bay star would be a welcome addition and would help make a push towards a championship if he can stay healthy. Plenty of other teams around the NFL could show interest in Alexander as well. He's one of the most talented cornerbacks in the league. Any team that needs secondary help would make sense as a suitor. Expect to hear more news about Alexander in the near future. The Bills are a team worth keeping a very close eye on.
