Redskins announce new uniform numbers

The Redskins announced several uniform number changes today. Some of the new numbers have been reported already. All of the incoming free agents, and reserve/futures signings will obviously have new numbers, with some taking the number of players that just left. Eight players that were on the Redskins last year also changed their number, including the team’s starting RB, and two rookies on defense who saw significant playing time. Plan your jersey purchases accordingly.

Full List:

WR Kendal Thompson (#87 to #10) Thompson takes the number that will forver be associated with Valdez Showers

QB Colt McCoy (#16 to #12) McCoy tries to get some of that #12 magic that Kirk Cousins had

RB Robert Kelley ( #32 to #20) Fat Rob slims his number down a little bit this season

CB Kendall Fuller (#38 to #29) Fuller joins Norman and Breeland in the 20s

S Su’a Cravens (#36 to #30) Cravens goes from Sean Taylor’s rookie number to LaRon Landry’s. Obvious downgrade here.
