The Miami Dolphins have three jersey numbers retired. Could they be setting up a backlog of more?
Bob Griese's number 12. Dan Marino's number 13. Larry Csonka's number 39. That is the extent of the jersey numbers the Miami Dolphins have retired.
When compared to a team like the Chicago Bears, who have retired 14 numbers, that is a small number. The Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans have not retired any. The Buffalo Bills announced on Wednesday that they will retire Bruce Smith's number 78, giving the franchise two retired numbers as he joins the number 12 of Jim Kelly.
