Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster doesn’t know what number he’ll wear in New England, but it won’t be the No. 9 jersey he wore in Kansas City.
Smith-Schuster noted that Matthew Judon currently wears No. 9, and the NFL has a rule that requires players who change numbers to buy all the unsold jerseys that have already been printed with their names and numbers. So Judon would be required to buy every No. 9 JUDON jersey currently on the market for the NFL to let him change to a different number, and Smith-Schuster would have to reimburse Judon for that plus pay him whatever amount Judon wanted for the number.
