Dallas Cowboys give Tyron Smith's number to another, the reaction has been quite poor
Dallas Cowboys give Tyron Smith's number to another, the reaction has been quite poor
The ink hasn't even dried from Tyron Smith's one-day contract, and the team has already handed out his No. 77 jersey to Saahdiq Charles, who recently signed with the Dallas Cowboys.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to jersey assignments. Some hold these numbers in high esteem based on the players who came before them. With the Dallas Cowboys specifically, it is an honor to wear the number 88 as a wide receiver. Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin, Dez Bryant, and now CeeDee Lamb have all worn that number and played at a very high level.
Other numbers are almost held at a holy level and should never be worn again.
Bob Lilly (74)
Roger Staubach (12)
Troy Aikman (8)
Emmitt Smith (22)
When it comes to the recent signee, Saahdiq Charles, who was assigned the No. 77 jersey last worn by the recently retired Tyron Smith, fans and former players were not fans of this.
Former Cowboys DB Jourdan Lewis weighs in
What are you doing Jerry?
Is it the number or the position?
The AUDACITY
Nothing has changed
Even the enemy is upset by this
Jerry is going to Jerry
