Yeah but it's still kind of odd because even then most teams won't reassign a number of a player that will almost certainly have their number retired at some point, even if it isn't official.

When you have a 90-man offseason roster and already have 6 retired numbers, the options get limited.

I think that's a big reason why they seem to have stopped retiring numbers. They started the Ring of Honor three years before the last retired number, and that's how the franchise seems to be recognizing its top players now.

Zimmer: "George is a very smart guy, he’s helped us a lot in the past. He’s very smart, a good tackler, he’s going to be where he’s supposed to be all the time. He pretty much knows a lot of things that we’re doing, and we went over most of the calls with him today, and he knew probably 85 percent of them.”

Iloka:  “It felt very familiar. I would say about 80 percent, at least from what they told me and just hearing the calls we similar. He’s changed some things up, obviously, some names, some calls, a little bit of philosophy here and there, but it’ll be easy. Now it’s my job to do my due diligence study the playbook, get with the coaches, and learn it. Like I said, it’s late into training camp, they have a season to worry about and I don’t want to be a distraction. I just want to come in and learn it as fast as I can and when called upon do what I have to do.”

The rich get richer.

Iloka, who signed with the Vikings today after the Bengals cut him on Sunday, signed a one-year contract with a $790,000 base salary (the minimum for a player with his experience), and a $90,000 signing bonus, according to multiple reports.
