Aiden O’Connell switched jersey numbers because he feels it disrespects Derek Carr

Amusing that a lot of the same Saints fans that are laughing by about this would have an aneurysm if a Saints player was issued #8 again. 😂

I suspect that the uproar for #8 would be minor due to the fact that relatively few here really remember Manning . #9 on the other hand . . .

But, personally, I think it's time for #8 to be released. We revered it because it's all we had. But we now have a Super Bowl and the memories of #9. I just think if players can wear #57 and #77, two NFL Hall of Fame players, then players should be able to wear #8.
