And which one will you buy or would you want?

Cam Skattebo will be the best seller year one.
I would buy Dart.

Yes.. Cam Bam. Number one at first..but Dart too..he's going to be here for awhile..and is the future

If Carter becomes the game wrecker he has the potential to be, I think it will be him.
But I'm guessing Dart will be the hot seller before when the season starts.

Dart will probably be out of the gate first with the most but since he won't get much playing time, I think Carter will outpace him. I'd probably get a Carter jersey before I get a Dart one.

Have they picked numbers yet?

Also I think they should have let Carter unretire Lawrence's number after the issues he's had. Titans did it with Moon and Ward.

Also Banks wears 2, which is Darts number, eager to see what he'll wear.

Assume Skattebo wears 4 if he can as a RB in the NFL.

The fans will never have it. LT is a NYG legend and the best player of all time.

I think Carter should wear either 91, to carry on Justin Tuck's legacy, or 98 when DJ Davidson gets jettisoned.  LT wanted to wear 98 but Giants wouldn't let him because they wanted linebackers to wear numbers in 50s (even though Van Pelt wore 10).  Also, back then the league had a 50-59 policy for LBs that didn't get tweaked until 1984 and, by then, LT was synonymous with 56.

He can per NFL policy.  RBs can wear 0-49 and 80-89.  However, 4 is retired by Giants in honor of Tuffy Leemans

Lawrence Taylor was a great football player but an absolute degenerate off the field. Having your number retired should be reserved for great players who represented the franchise well. If it were me his number would have never been retired in the first place.

Fans love players like Skattebo. I think his jersey will fly off the shelves.

People may buy Dart jerseys but I don't think that many will actually wear them to the building this year. You won't see tons of them on people's backs until he is (1) playing and (2) has played a few solid games.

I would love nothing more than to see Cam receive the privilege of wearing jersey #4 in the same manner that Nabers reached out to the Flaherty family to request unretiring #1. The Leemans family participates in the Giants "Ring of Honor" and other history-related gatherings at the Sardine Can. So, it is certainly possible that Cam could reach out to them to make a special request for #4. Personally, I have always felt that once the Giants' Ring of Honor was officially activated, the concept of jersey numbers being "retired," or taken out of circulation, became antiquated, and that the numbers should be used for future generations to write their own history since those originally honored by the jersey retirement are now in the Ring of Honor, which should be designated as the greatest honor the Football Giants can bestow upon a player, coach, or contributor.

So, if you are reading this, Cam and the Leemans family, it would be wonderful if you all could get together and discuss this opportunity. I have no doubt in my mind that Cam would bring great honor and credit to Alphonse, our Legendary Giants' Running Back, whose legend took him to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as well as the Giants' Ring of Honor. He will NEVER be forgotten in Giants lore.

Peace!

His number was retired because of what he did on the field. He's in the HoF because of what he did on the field.

His personal transgressions have nothing to do with football or having his # retired.
