New jersey number rules: who on your team is changing out their number?

With the new jersey rules, who on your team do you think is changing up their number or going to wear a number that they wouldn't have worn otherwise? Reminder of the new guidelines:

QB, K, P: 1-19
RB, TE, WR: 1-49, 80-89
DB: 1-49
LB: 1-59, 90-99
OL: 50-79
DL: 50-79, 90-99

 

I think for Atlanta, we'll see guys like A.J. Terrell #8, Calvin Ridley #3, Tyler Hall #6, and Cordarrelle Patterson #84 all make sense. Terrell and Ridley may not change til after the 2021 season, but Hall has to with his number being retired by the team for this year in honor of Hank Aaron's death. Patterson might have to ask Roddy if it's ok if he wears 84, but the Falcons had no problems giving up 88 and Tony Gonzalez is in the Ring of Honor as well.

Jalen Ramsey and Robert Woods are working out who is going to take #2.

Cam Akers will likely go back to #3.

Incoming rookies certainly have an advantage not having to buy out existing jerseys of a previous number

Curious if some vets with sway will just lock down those numbers ahead of time.

Keep them off the market until next year.

I'd bet some of these guys rethink it when they realize they'd probably have to spend $100k or more to buy out their existing jersey inventory.

Guys on a second contract may not care but that's a lot of money when you could just wait until next year.

Saw something for Dalvin Cook it was like a million and a half to do it. 

Wouldn't be as high for none stars, but they also would have less money to throw around.
