It’s The Offseason: A Thread About Retiring Or Honoring Jersey Numbers

If I were to retire 5 numbers, they would (controversially) be:

  1. #9 Drew Brees: best player in Saints history.
  2. #8 Archie Manning: the first truly talented Saints player
  3. #34 Tony Galbreath :cool: : a largely unrecognized fullback who was way ahead of his time and very productive.
  4. #57 Ricky Jackson: NFL HOFer. Second best player in Saints history.
  5. #77 Willie Roaf: Saints best all-time OT.
Arguments could be made for so many more players, but this is jmo - recognizing that Tony G. will be on few (if any) other lists. This is the reason that I like the ring of honor much better than retiring numbers. You're only restricted to the circle around the Dome.
