Shaquill Griffin's new Seahawks jersey number revealed
However, Griffin will be sporting a somewhat new look in his second stint. When he was last with the Seahawks, the Pro Bowler wore the No. 26 jersey, which is currently occupied by running back Zach Charbonnet. This time around, Griffin will be wearing a number with immense history in Seattle... No. 24.
There is a considerable portion of the 12th Man that would like to see No. 24 retired permanently by the Seahawks organization. Historically, Seattle has only retired the jerseys of those who went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame primarily as Seahawks - such as Steve Largent, Walter Jones, Cortez Kennedy, and Kenny Easley. But Marshawn Lynch is a different case, as he was truly the face of the organization's rise to national prominence during the Pete Carroll era. His unique personality and bruising playing style has made him a cult classic in the Pacific Northwest.
There is of course the Ken Griffey Jr. connection to the number as well, who also wore No. 24. There are just as many Seattle sports fans who would like to see the No. 24 retired city-wide across all the professional teams in the region.
But for now, No. 24 will once again take the field in Seattle, and hopefully there's still a little magic left in it for a legacy Seahawk like Shaquill Griffin.

Panthers training camp preview: How many roster spots will be available at WR?
With the Carolina Panthers set to report to training camp this week, it's time to take a look at the lay of the land. Which players are sure to make it through the summer and onto the team's initial 53-man roster? Are there any wild-card candidates who can leave a lasting impression in the coming weeks? And which battles are worth keeping an eye on? Here is our training camp preview for the Panthers' wide receiver position: Roster locks The Panthers, for the first time in franchise history, have now spent back-to-back first-round picks on wideouts. McMillan could be the true No. 1 target for quarterback Bryce Young while Legette will try to find his way after an underwhelming rookie campaign. Thielen, who turns 35 years old in late August, is back for the third and final season of his contract. He led Carolina in receiving over the first two, with 1,014 yards in 2023 and 615 yards in 2024. Coker may very well be Thielen's successor at the slot position. Like the savvy veteran, the 23-year-old youngster is a sound route technician with sure hands. Likely to make it Moore's connection with head coach Dave Canales, whom he also played under in Seattle and Tampa Bay, is strong. He proved to be a useful weapon for Young towards the end of 2024 as well, recording 35 targets over the team's final seven outings. Horn seems to have a high-profile connection too, but with president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan. Plus, there may not be another receiver on this roster who has the speed that Horn does—as evidenced by his eye-opening display in the spring. On the bubble Renfrow missed the entire 2024 season due to a rough bout with ulcerative colitis. The Myrtle Beach, S.C. native, University of Clemson product and former Pro Bowler has an outside chance to complete a feel-good NFL comeback. Battle to watch If Renfrow does finish his story, he might have to do so at the expense of Moore. But Moore's past with Canales and his experience on special teams will give him the upper hand. Potential sleeper Speaking of Canales and special teams, the second-year play-caller certainly values the ability to play in the third phase of the game. And that will benefit Chisena—who could step up as a leader for the unit following the offseason departures of safety Sam Franklin Jr. and tight end Feleipe Franks.

50 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No.50
The Houston Texans are officially 50 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 worn No. 50 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 50 No. 50 currently belongs to second-year defensive end Solomon Byrd. Mostly found on the practice squad in 2024, the former seventh-round pick did appear in two games last season and recorded a tackle. He's going to need a promising training camp to earn a spot on the active 53-man roster, but given his work ethic, perhaps Houston keeps him around as an option for the practice squad a second straight year. With Byrd barely playing over his lone season with the Texans, he's obviously not the best player to don No. 50, which begs the question: who is? Best Player: Tyrell Adams With the passing of Braman, we want to give a shoutout for his efforts during his time in Houston and the impact he's made to those in the area. On the field, however, Adams was the most consistent player and led all players in tackles who donned the jersey with 141 stops, six sacks and three forced fumbles. Picking are slim, but Adams was a reliable special-teams option and a decent No. 4 linebacker for three seasons. He started 14 games and averaged roughly 7.8 tackles per appearance. It's a solid number for a linebacker who was projected to be a practice squad player. And among the long 2020 COVID-19 season, Adams was one of the few defensive bright spots, notching 120 tackles and a career-best 12 starts. One solid season for the Texans did enough of the heavy lifitng to earn him the accolade over Anderson and Braman, though both made solid cases.
