DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The NFL's new potential rule change affecting jersey numbers could have a major impact on the Cowboys next season.
Linebacker Jaylon Smith was the first to share his excitement about potentially switching back to his old No. 9 at Notre Dame. That number, of course, belonged to former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
And now, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is hinting at switching from the franchise's most iconic number (No. 88) to the number he wore at Oklahoma (No. 2).
The motion is expected to pass, NFL insider Peter King reported, and would allow skill-position players including running backs, wide receivers and tight ends to wear single-digit numbers, among other changes.
As well, defensive backs and linebackers would be permitted to wear nos. 1-19, which would add a college feel to the NFL.
