Recently, the Kansas City Chiefs extended a proposal to the NFL to relax some of their rules on jersey numbers. With some teams having retired quite a few players and players hoping to continue wearing their numbers from college or high school, it makes sense that players from every team, including the Minnesota Vikings, could take advantage of this rule.
The proposal requesting a reduction in the strictness of jersey numbers is something Pro Football Talk’s Peter King believes will pass when it is voted on.
