Then I looked at the roster and they have Wright at 24 and Baxter at 23. (Barclay is also wearing 24 but that is his europe# so i'm discounting that). I highly doubt Baxter just gave up his Jersey # in one day for a rook. Seems like they said, you want 24 E wright, take it. Again, this is just pure speculation as I didn't have much time to do that before the draft! Any thoughts on Baxter's future Hurry Back LeCharles.

Baxter won't even be practicing at mini-camps, so what does it matter if his number is used. Players double up on numbers all the time, through the end of preseason. ~Lyuokdea ~Lyuokdea

He thought it might bring him some better luck since he's had a run of big injuries wearing #24. I think he's switched to #23. It might be on the roster, I'll have to go check to see if it's been changed there. "The Browns' defense is kicking mucho dupa."

What a story that would be. As PPE asked, can you provide any more specific info? LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

Just b/c the guy wants to change his number doesn't mean the FO is canning him. Personally, if changing his number helps him clear his mind of the last few years, let him. What more do the browns have to lose?

I guess he's superstitious after all.
